Hans Hendrix is a architect and he won the Rolex Awards for excellence for the Q-drum
The Q drum was created in 1993.]]> 2021-10-13 01:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/ohkmmluo9m213pj01645023571/wish/1812454362 https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/ohkmmluo9m213pj01645023571/wish/1812455724 Q-Drum was invented to reduce the time and effort that people living in African water-deficient countries such as Ethiopia and Kenya spend on getting drinking water. When adult men go out to work, women and children have to walk a long distance with a large bucket to get drinking water. In the process, frequent injuries occur and children lose time to go to school. Therefore, Q-Drum was invented to easily transport a large amount of water.]]> 2021-10-13 01:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/ohkmmluo9m213pj01645023571/wish/1812455724 https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/ohkmmluo9m213pj01645023571/wish/1812455914 Q Drum can be filled with maximum 50L of water. It is very easy to put water into the Q drum. Also, it can be rolled along the ground with rope or even old clothes tied together. People can transport water with easily with Q Drum. 
A Qdrum allows people to transport more water in a single trip. It also helps preventing back and neck injuries caused by carrying heavy things. In addition, it is fun to roll the Q drum.]]> 2021-10-13 01:26:39 UTC https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/ohkmmluo9m213pj01645023571/wish/1812455914 https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/ohkmmluo9m213pj01645023571/wish/1812488400 2021-10-13 01:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/ohkmmluo9m213pj01645023571/wish/1812488400 https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/ohkmmluo9m213pj01645023571/wish/1812489651 2021-10-13 01:40:30 UTC https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/ohkmmluo9m213pj01645023571/wish/1812489651 https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/ohkmmluo9m213pj01645023571/wish/1817243679 It means, the technology which is made for some group that have different level of technology.
Usually it made for group with low technology or group with few resources(like, oil and electricity).
For example. If we need to something to cool off soon because it will be get hot soon. But if you can't use electricity? Then, we need Appropriate Technology like, 'bottle air conditioner'. That's why we need those technology.]]> 2021-10-14 14:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/ohkmmluo9m213pj01645023571/wish/1817243679 https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/ohkmmluo9m213pj01645023571/wish/1823277722 Okay, let me say something. some of technology is good....but uh...sometimes it have BIG problems. okay? New technology makes our life better but...what a cost? It can cause environment problems. Sometimes, it is hard to use or too expensive, so some people can't use it, then it's useless but it just cause problems! Isn't it? That's my criticism.
But this. This thing is good. Really.
Q drum solve these problems. it is easy to make, easy to use, and most importantly, it doesn't need fuel to use, so it make less problems(it is usually made by plastic so it actually.. have FEW problem). even it can solve some 'carrying water' problem! So, I like it.]]> 2021-10-18 05:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/ohkmmluo9m213pj01645023571/wish/1823277722 https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/ohkmmluo9m213pj01645023571/wish/1823278557 I think Q drum is very good example of the design aspect of appropriate technology.But I think it has a fatal flaw.What is disappointing is the price. Q-drum is about 60,000 won each, which can be quite expensive for people living in Africa. ]]> 2021-10-18 05:37:00 UTC https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/ohkmmluo9m213pj01645023571/wish/1823278557 https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/ohkmmluo9m213pj01645023571/wish/1823279229 Opinion: I think technology is important because it can help people. Like the Q drum, it can make people's life happier and better. Just a little bit of technology can make a big change. We might think that technologies like Q drum is not important. However, in poor countries, it can be very useful.]]> 2021-10-18 05:37:30 UTC https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/ohkmmluo9m213pj01645023571/wish/1823279229 https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/ohkmmluo9m213pj01645023571/wish/1828958255 I think techonoly is important because it makes people feel more comfortable and changes people's lives. Many people have been helped through this technology. Therefore, I think techonoly is important.]]> 2021-10-20 01:32:22 UTC https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/ohkmmluo9m213pj01645023571/wish/1828958255
