1.1. My first understanding of technology is that it is an application of science that makes our life easier when we need to finish a task. Some of the tasks may be connecting with friends and/or working on projects.
2. what i think now and what i learned
2.1. My understanding and definition of technology didn't change a lot because as i said before my first understanding of technology were application of science that helps people in everyday life.
2.2. Technology is a really important factor in society without technology most careers and tasks are hard to finish. Technology is also an important factor because it makes people connect with each other and know what is happening around them, if there is no technology most people won't be able to connect with each other and other won't be able to know what is happening around them.
2.3. there are no "unhelpful" technology nowadays because each technology that is invented have different purposes.
