1. what techonology is for me now
1.1. application of scientific Knowledge for practical purposes
1.1.1. New definations of technologies
1.1.1.1. The aplication of scientific knowledge for practical purposes- Oxford (Thierer, 2021).
1.1.1.2. “Technology means the systematic application of scientific or other organized knowledge to practical tasks.”-John Kenneth Galbraith (Thierer, 2021).
1.1.1.3. “Properly understood, any new and better way of doing things is technology.”-Peter Thiel (Thierer, 2021).
1.2. The greek otigin word that translates to study of Skill, craft and arts.
2. The word technology was first came into use in 1829
3. Modern Thoughts on technology
3.1. American National Research Council (NRC) has defined technology as any modification of natural world made to fulfill human man needs or desires (Sheridan College, 2024).
3.2. Educators and researchers of United states have explaided technology as Product and process of innovation (Sheridan College, 2024).
4. Four defination of technology
4.1. Tech as hardware- Anything that is not created naturally (Dyer, 2009).
4.2. Tech as Manufacturing- a concept that emerged from the Industrial Revolution and includes the systems of people, machines, energy, and regulations involved in producing goods (Dyer, 2009).
4.3. Techn as methodology- refers to the skills, procedures, and methods used in production (Dyer, 2009).
4.4. tech as social usage- how society connects people and hardware by integrating laws, procedures, and interactions with technological systems (Dyer, 2009).
5. How diffrent occupation veiws tech
5.1. Scientist- end product of the research Li-Hua, R. (2007).
5.2. Engineer- a tool or process that can be employed to build better products or solve technical problems Li-Hua, R. (2007).
5.3. business executive- it may be the most important, yet least understood company asset Li-Hua, R. (2007).
6. Evaluation of Technlogy over the years
6.1. Technology is anything that wasn’t around when you were born”(Greelish, 2013).
6.2. Humans Have adapted new technology over the course of time, one example could be mode of writing, earlier humans started with making images on walls it evolves to invention of paper and later we found ourselves typing this sentence on a keybord. the change in writing style has came a long way.
6.3. . (charles tuck, 2019)
7. Application of scientific Knowladge for practical purposes
8. My take on technology-One person's look the world revoles around technology, from invension of wheel to airplanes everything is technology (nusys, 2019).
8.1. .
9. Kelly's perspective on technology (Kelly, 2010).
9.1. Kelly defines technology as"anything useful that human mind made"(Kelly, 2010).
9.2. The greatest invention of innovation is humanity. I completely agree with the statement here, technology helps us to reinvent ourselves. Humans are the most advanced "biological technology through innovation"(Kelly, 2010).
9.3. everything starts with the need of survival. the greatest example of this would be invension of stone tools for hunting. Technology is considerd as seventh kingdom of life. the human survival is impossible without technology (Kelly, 2010).
10. what i thought technology was before
10.1. Anything that makes human life easy
10.2. electonics
10.2.1. phones
10.2.2. machines
10.2.3. robots
10.3. Big Industrial Firms
11. Tech is Selfish vs tech is generous
11.1. technology got a flip side it but it all depends on how human mind intepreat it; as kelly mentioned neculer energy fusion is a bad idea for creating bombs bur is a great innovation for sustainable electricity (Kelly, 2010).
