Lesson 45 : Process of Homestead Technology Development

Technology Adaptation

This stage serves two functions, firstly as a process it generates new technology in tune with the social system for which it was intended, and secondly it determines the performance of technology in other conditions. Since the needs of rural women differ widely as per situation therefore, one blanket technology cannot be recommended for all kinds of users. Technology adaptation must be done to make particular technology suitable for specific situations/demands that fits into the local situation.
