Abstract
Technology is the driving force behind much of the change taking place in the world today. Consequently, across society, calls are being made to ensure technological literacy is a meaningful and central part of schooling to adequately prepare pupils to become part of an increasingly technologically driven world. However, studies have shown that large parts of society perceive technology primarily in terms of computers.
