With Tech Support
This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), allows students to investigate the uses of communication technology in the modern world, making decisions about being dependent on such technology.
Satellite navigation (sat nav) and GPS (Global Positioning System) location devices are highly important, and every day many people rely on these devices for finding where they are going. Life has been changed by using GPS positioning systems for a variety of uses. Students consider life without these important technologies.
