What is Technology?

1. What l think after module

2. According to Dean and LeMaster (1995), technology is defined as “firm-specific information concerning characteristics and performance properties of production processes and product design”. While Contractor and Sagafi-Nejad (1981) describe technology simply as “a bundle of information, rights and services” Maskus (2004) defines technology as “the information necessary to achieve a certain production outcome from a particular mean of combining or processing selected inputs”. However, Maskus (2004) solely distinguishes between embodied and disembodied technology, whereas Kedia and Bhagat (1988) recommend a more detailed classification into process-, product- and person-embodied technology.

3. Technology as Hardware – this is the basic level that most of us mean when we use the word “technology.” As a piece of hardware (or an “artifact” for the anthropologist or “cultural good” for the sociologist), “technology” could be a clock, a shovel, a laptop, a belt, a thermometer, a can of root beer, a canteen, a tank, or a fake duck decoy.

5. I agree with Kevin Kelly he says”We can think of technology as the seventh kingdom of life. It is beyond human form. But technology has its own agenda, like everything, like life itself”.

10. Technology is one of the oldest and is used by humans, but in a primitive manner.

11. Technology is the devices and tools that makes our life easier.

12. It is hard to have a full and comprehensive definition of technology because it is something nething complex.
