Week 8: Information Evolution Technology
Sub-topic: Electronic vs. Non-Electronic Devices
Objectives:
By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
- Define electronic and non-electronic devices.
- Identify examples of both electronic and non-electronic devices.
- Compare the functions and advantages of electronic devices over non-electronic devices.
Entry Behavior:
Students should have some understanding of basic devices they use daily, such as mobile phones, radios, books, and tools like abacuses.
Instructional Materials:
- Visual aids showing examples of electronic (e.g., computer, radio) and non-electronic devices (e.g., books, mechanical clock).
- Physical examples of devices (if available), like a calculator and an abacus.

- Non-Electronic Devices:
Devices that do not require electricity to function. These devices perform tasks mechanically or manually without digital processing.- Examples: Books, abacus, manual typewriter, mechanical clock.
- Comparison Between Electronic and Non-Electronic Devices:
- Speed: Electronic devices process information much faster than non-electronic ones.
- Accuracy: Electronic devices offer more precision, especially in tasks like calculations and data storage.
- Storage: Electronic devices can store vast amounts of information, while non-electronic ones rely on physical space (e.g., books).
- Ease of Use: Electronic devices often provide easier interfaces for complex tasks.
- Durability: Non-electronic devices may last longer without the risk of battery depletion or software failure.
