Technology by Mind Map: Technology

1. Before module my pont of view

1.1. Technology consists of machines that make our life easy and advanced.

2. Present definition

2.1. Technology is about making advanced products by organizing the techniques and knowledge.

2.1.1. organized techniques and knowledge= Advanced solutions

2.1.1.1. This definition is broad as this process of organizing knowledge and techniques is the driving force behind technology

2.1.1.1.1. **Organization** : Simply knowing something is not enough. Knowledge and techniques must be organized and handled in a systematic manner to ensure smooth functioning. Even the best ideas fall flat if they are not properly organized

2.1.1.1.2. **Techniques:** These are the step by step methods or process we use to accomplish a task . For instance assembling a machine or writing computer code involves specific techniques that make the product work correctly.

2.1.1.1.3. **Knowledge:** This is the information, skills and understanding we gain through study, experience, or practice. Knowledge provides the foundation to develop new ideas and improve old ones.

3. How my ideas changed

3.1. By reading numerous definitions of other people

3.2. By comparing my idea with other people

3.3. By researching more about the topic

3.4. By watching technology realted videos provided in the module

4.4.1. In Human-Built World: How to Think about Technology and Culture, Hughes remarks, "Technology is messy and complex. It is difficult to define and to understand."

5. Why do we need new technologies

5.1. To increase efficiency

5.1.1. Technologies in industries increase productivity, streamline processes, and automate monotonous operations. For example, robotic systems improve manufacturing, and software programs simplify administration.

5.2. To improve quality of life

5.2.1. For example: Advanced Medical technologies to improve health outcomes

5.2.2. Advancements in entertainmnet, transportation, and accessibility enhance comfort, safety and overall well-being

5.3. To adapt to future challenges

5.3.1. E.g. Climate change solutions

5.4. Economic growth

5.4.1. Technological adcancements drive new industries, create jobs, and contribute to economic development
