•    Identify and describe relevant and key factors of the selected technology.
•    Describe and present important and identifying factors of the geographic location.
•    Describe the major characteristics of the predominant culture.

•    Describe the economy of the country and discuss its relationship to the use or determination of the appropriate technology in this economy.

The following overriding questions are to be central to your report.

•    What are the factors that governed the development and implementation of the appropriate technology in this country?
•    What was the development process of the technology in terms of social, cultural, and economic considerations?
