1. What I think Technology is After Reading
1.1. Human’s use of technology involves not only machines (e.g., computer hardware) and instruments, but also includes structured relations with other humans, machines, and the environment. In short, technology is more than a collection of machines and devices. To go beyond simplistic intuitions about technology requires investigation of the human mind and socio-cultural environment as well as interactions with technological artifacts" (Isman, 2012, 208)

3. New Definition of Technology
3.1. "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).
3.1.1. Technology can be anything that was created by humans that makes life easier or solves a problem (Nusys, 2019)
3.1.2. Technology often abbreviated as "Tech" is knowledge or set of tools which makes life easier or solve a problem. For example, a pen makes it easier to record instead of memorizing things (Tuck, 2019).
3.1.3. The Cool Commercials (2019). There is more to technology that we often think, its a tool that can help us and brings as closer as depicted in Apple's ad.
