TECHNOLOGY PUSH AND MARKET PULL INNOVATION is explained within this video as we CONTINUE our GCSE REVISION IN DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY. What is technology push? The stages that create this process: technology push is the development and research of new material/process/ invention. Then a new product is created by either improving on existing product or creating something new. This all happens before the consumer knows about this product. What is market pull? The stages that create this process: This is innovation that comes completely from what the consumer market needs and wants. Invention of something or the development or improvement to a product. All with market research and focus groups. Examples of market pull examples of technology push

We learn about a BLACK INVENTOR known as Garrett Morgan. This October we celebrate BLACK HISTORY MONTH with the UK. We continue to see how diversity influences DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY. What is black history month? How can we create diversity and equality without a more equal balance? Who invented the Gas mask? // Sources of information https://www.zippia.com/graphic-designer-jobs/demographics/ https://www.myblackhistory.net/Garrett_Morgan.htm

Is our exploding population influencing new technologies? What is the maximum population the Earth can sustain? What that has to do with design and technology? // How are new technologies are changing the way we manufacture products:  Only using renewable materials from sustainable sources  Powering the production of factories with renewable energy  Using only recycled materials  Creating products that use a low amount of energy  Making products with less materials and components.  Thinking about how existing or future products can be repaired and upgraded  Sourcing locally for materials, production and retailing. // We will look closer into two companies who are meeting some of these objectives: Island Bakery https://www.islandbakery.scot/the-island-bakery-story/ Other food companies: https://earth.org/sustainable-food-companies/ Green Toys https://www.greentoys.com/pages/our-commitment Other global companies: https://www.virgin.com/virgin-unite/latest/10-global-companies-that-are-environmentally-friendly
