WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY by Mind Map: WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY

1. What I though before

2. What is technology to me? To myself technology is the forefront in today’s society and is always advancing mostly for the better like in medical sciences or with computing power that enables research into space or our oceans and keeping track of the ever changing world. It has made day to day life much easier as we incorporate technology into our lives making us more productive with our time, keeping in contact with friends and family as well as online shopping and banking.

12. What I think now

13. What I think now Technology is hard to describe as it is everywhere from things we do daily as well as different job categories and seems to be ever changing for us to be able to properly define what is technology. Technology is generally comprised of two main components, the physical component as well as the information component. Prior to the 1930’s Technology was described in terms of useful arts, invention, manufacturing, industry and applied science. After reading “defining the word Technology” by don’t eat the fruit, I believe they break down the word technology into four basic subcategories that most can relate to everyday. It is looked at as technology as hardware which covers everyday items we use from radio’s to belts to cell phones. Technology of manufacturing sums of the process of creating our everyday products like computer desks to cars. Technology of methodology can be thought of as knowhow of creating modern hardware and lastly the technology as social usage defines how technology is used in society from driving to our social activity. As you can these are just a general description of what the word technology means thus making it very hard to pinpoint or describe. Overall since I view as technology is around us I would like to keep an open mind to new objects or ideas as they can adversely affect our lives hopefully for the better.
