Technology Definitions

Technology is the making, usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, crafts, systems or methods of organization in order to solve a problem or serve some purpose. The word technology comes from Greek τεχνολογία (technología); from τέχνη (téchnē), meaning "art, skill, craft", and -λογία (-logía), meaning "study of-".^[1] The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include construction technology, medical technology, and information technology.

Technologies significantly affect human as well as other animal species' ability to control and adapt to their natural environments. The human species' use of technology began with the conversion of natural resources into simple tools. The prehistorical discovery of the ability to control fire increased the available sources of food and the invention of the wheel helped humans in travelling in and controlling their environment. Recent technological developments, including the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet, have lessened physical barriers to communication and allowed humans to interact freely on a global scale. However, not all technology has been used for peaceful purposes; the development of weapons of ever-increasing destructive power has progressed throughout history, from clubs to nuclear weapons.

Technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies, technology has helped develop more advanced economies (including today's global economy) and has allowed the rise of a leisure class. Many technological processes produce unwanted by-products, known as pollution, and deplete natural resources, to the detriment of the Earth and its environment. Various implementations of technology influence the values of a society and new technology often raises new ethical questions. Examples include the rise of the notion of efficiency in terms of human productivity, a term originally applied only to machines, and the challenge of traditional norms.

Stone Age tools

Imagine a world today using only stones in every aspects of their lives... yes you heard it right! You eat in your stone plate with a stone spoon and fork.

When you go to the kitchen to cook for the meals.. you have a stone knife, stone chopping board, and stone cooking utensils. You drink in a stone glass... uuugh! I can't imagine how heavy will it be. And when everything goes wrong in a drinking session.. you'll just smack your enemy with a stone glass and he's finsihed. A stone pillow and a stone bed... backbreaking and stiff neck as a result when you wake up.. everything is made up of stone.

Finding food using stone knife, javellin with stone tip, or arrorws with sharp stone pointer.

This is the normal life of our ancestors during the time of Stone Age. A time where tools is very primitive and basic. Yet they have survived and live their lives. Its plain and simple... you don't have to have everything in this world for you to survive... food, shelter, and clothing.. that is all you need physically. ☺ ►
