von HIẾU TRẦN TRUNG
1. What i thought before

1.1.1. Cell phones
1.1.2. Computer

2. What i think now
2.1. Human-made objects, systems, and concepts that make completing tasks and solving problems easier
2.1.1. "Technology is anything useful invented by the human mind" (Kelly , 2010 )
2.2. How have my idea changed ?
2.2.1. Not just
2.2.2. Technology is a lot more difficult to define than I had initally thought
2.2.3. "Technology has a more general meaning which includes any “practical application of knowledge” or “manner of accomplishing a task”."( Isman, 2012 )
2.3. "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. To go beyond simplistic intuitions about technology requires investigation of the human mind and socio-cultural environment as well as interactions with technological artifacts"(Isman, 2012)
2.4. "Technology is messy and complex. It is difficult to define and to understand. In its variety, it is full of contradictions…Yet today most people in the industrialized world reduce technology’s complexity, ignore its contradictions, and see it as little more than gadgets and as a handmaiden of commercial capitalism and the military. Too often, technology is narrowly equated with computers and the Internet"(Hughes: 2004: 1).
2.5. "Technology represents the combination of human understanding of natural laws and phenomena accumulated since ancient times to make things that fulfil our needs and desires or that perform certain functions" (Karatsu, 1990)
2.6. The means used to create products
