To What Extent Does our

Health Depend on

Technology?

AOI: Health and Social Education

Significant Concept: Our Health is only as good as our

health service

IntroductionThis unit is about creating a video or animation to demonstrate and educate a specific age group on the health effects of a

particular type of technology. The video or animation will have to show and clarify what kind of effects the chosen technology does

on human health, for example if it damages someone’s body or if it helps it.

The technology I have chosen to do my video or animation on is defibrillators. I chose this kind of technology because it is an

extremely helpful object that can help people.

Also, I have decided to make an animation to show the effects of my chosen technology. I chose to do an animation because

animations are often easier ways of understanding things.

At last, my target audience for which i will do my animation is going to be from the age of 10 to the age of 12. This way, people

with this age will understand the use of the chosen technology and this seems like the appropriate age to learn these kinds of

information and show their importance. I will have to educate my audience on how useful using the defibrillators is and how many

lives it saves even if almost surely no one of my audience will have used it. The message I will try to give out is even though it is

not a daily usage object, in the time you need it ,it actually has the ability to save your life.

This technology is only affective to a single person and not to multiple people around it. However, it still has a great beneficial

effect on human health.

Furthermore, by creating my animation I can educate my target audience not only about how the chosen technology is used but

what would happen in a situation where you don’t have it but you urgently need it. That will show its purpose and its importance

towards human health.
