1. What I Now Think About Technology
1.1. Physical objects or Devices like Computer
1.1.1. "Technology has two primary components: 1) a physical component which comprises of items such as products, tooling, equipments, blueprints, techniques, and processes; and 2) the informational component which consists of know-how in management, marketing, production, quality control, reliability, skilled labor and functional areas."
1.2. Knowledge Used To Accomplish Tasks
1.2.1. "When people think of “technology,” they tend to think of human artifacts such as machines, electronic devices, scientific hardware, or industrial manufacturing systems. However, a formal definition (College Dictionary) of technology indicates that it has a more general meaning which includes any “practical application of knowledge” or “manner of accomplishing a task" (Isman, 2012).

2. How My Idea About Technology has Changed
2.1. Technology is something that one can percieve to be simple, but it looks more complex than just the basic outlook or understanding.
2.2. "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, p. 1).
2.3. Technology is More Than Words or Objects as Many Percieve, But Sould Be Felt In Terms of How It Makes Life Easy and Offer Vital Solutions to Our Problems.
2.4. "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, p. 208)
