1. What i thought technology was before the module

2. What i think of it now

2.1. Everything around us processing and working either by human efforts or on its own.

2.1.1. "Technology is one of the keywords of our world, yet it is also one of the most confused" (Agar, 2019)

2.2. From the information gathered from the module, technology is hard to define and understood. It is involved in our daily life and is also changing on routine basis in every possible way like in new models of cars ( electric cars instead of motor cars).

2.2.1. "Technology is messy and complex. It is difficult to define and to understand. In its variety, it is full of contradictions…Yet today most people in the industrialized world reduce technology’s complexity, ignore its contradictions, and see it as little more than gadgets and as a handmaiden of commercial capitalism and the military. Too often, technology is narrowly equated with computers and the Internet" (Hughes: 2004: 1).

3. What technology involves

3.1. Basically everything but...

3.1.1. Processes

3.1.2. Innovations

3.1.3. Equipments

3.2. "Technology is not just the phones in our pockets and the laptops in our bags" (John Dyer, 2009).

3.3. "Technology is anything useful invented by the human mind" (Kelly, 2010).

4. Need for new technology

4.1. To solve the problems being faced by the people

4.1.1. For instance, candle light with fewer area was replaced by brighter bulbs.

4.2. More advanced technology easier the life.

4.3. "DDT sprayed on local homes--there is nothing better to eliminate malaria" (Kelly, 2010).
