2.3. According to Isman's opinion"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. (Isman, 2012, 208)

2.3.1. Technology goes beyond machines and devices,it could also stimulate other aspects,like human relationship and enviroments

2.4. Dyer J(2019) states "techonology, like “art,” is not a terribly easy word to define."However,he defines four elements as hardware,manufacturing,mathodology and social usage.
