End of Question 11 11 6 BLANK PAGE 12 Board of Studies NSW 2002 2 002 HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFIC ATE EXAMINATION Design and Technology Section III 15 marks Attempt ONE question from Questions 12 14 Allow about 40 minutes for this section Answer the question in a writing booklet. Extra writing booklets are available. Marks Question 12 (15 marks) Read the following case study of an innovation. Use this case and your own case study of innovation to answer parts (a) (c). Australian sparks new innovation: The light chip Australian researchers have developed a technique to convert electrical signals on silicon into light, which some suggest could spark the next revolution in computing. The conversion of such electrical signals into light in devices such as microchips will enable computers to transmit data at the speed of light, resulting in almost unlimited computing power. Much work remains to be done, but we believe this opens up a new window of opportunity for Australia in the global computer industry, which is worth billions of dollars a year said Professor Green (University of NSW). (a) Describe TWO ways in which developers of such a new innovation can protect their rights to the idea or process. 2 (b) Identify the key factors involved in the success (or otherwise) of your own case study of an innovation. Explain how these factors might impact on the success or otherwise of the light chip innovation. 5 (c) Critically assess some of the possible environmental, economic and social implications of this new light chip innovation. 8 OR 346 13 Marks Question 13 (15 marks) Some changes in the process of shopping that have occurred over time are indicated in the diagram. (a) Using the illustrations above, outline how TWO changes in technology have affected the way people have shopped over time. 2 (b) Explain how changing social and economic trends have impacted on the way people shop. Draw on examples illustrated above and other technologies you have studied. 5 (c) Critically assess the advantages and disadvantages of cashless shopping in terms of ethics and the environment. 8 OR 14 Marks Question 14 (15 marks) Use this picture of a mobile phone to answer parts (a) (c). (a) Outline TWO issues you would need to consider when designing graphics and text for a mobile phone display screen. 2 (b) Safety of a technology can be identified at two levels, personal and environmental. Two possible safety issues with mobile phones have been identified. These are: 5 personal effects of waves from the phone, possibly causing a cancer hazard; environmental disposal of toxic components at the end of the life of the phone. Explain design features that could be used to reduce the impact of these two safety issues in mobile phones. Support your answer using examples from other technologies. (c) The combining together of different technologies has made mobile phones possible, for example long-life rechargeable batteries and LCD screens. Critically assess the role of the combining together of different technologies as a significant way in which technology develops and evolves. Use the technologies in mobile phones and ONE other product or system that you have studied to exemplify and support your assessment. End of paper 15 8 BLANK PAGE 16 Board of Studies NSW 2002
