2.1.2.1. "Musk, E. (2017). The future we're building — and boring [Video]. TED. Elon Musk believes that new technologies are essential because they help us create an exciting future full of possibilities. He thinks we need big dreams, like exploring space and living on other planets, to feel happy and inspired. Without new technologies, like rockets, life could feel boring. By inventing and improving technology, we can discover new worlds and make our dreams come true, which makes life more interesting and gives us reasons to be excited about the future!" (Musk, E. (2017)
2.1.2.1.1. I think it's important to have a future that is inspiring and appealing. I just think there have to be reasons that you get up in the morning and you want to live. Like, why do you want to live? What's the point? What inspires you? What do you love about the future? And if we're not out there, if the future does not include being out there among the stars and being a multi planet species, I find that it's incredibly depressing if that's not the future that we're going to have.
2.1.2.1.2. 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, A. (2012)
2.1.2.1.3. Every day, we use things that help us do stuff better or faster, and those things are called technology. But what exactly is technology? The word "technology" comes from Greek words that mean skills and crafts. It’s not just about electronics or gadgets.
