3. What i think now? After reading modules.
3.1. After reading Richard Li-Hua's journal. I found this "Technology represents the combination of human understanding of natural laws and phenomena accumulated since ancient times to make things that fulfill our needs and desires or that perform certain functions (Karatsu, 1900).
3.2. In other words, technology has to create things that benefit human beings (Li-Hua, 2007).

4.1.2. Technology as Manufacturing
4.1.2.1. -Things are made which can be used to make other things.
4.1.2.2. -From machines run by the people to machines grinding with the help of electricity,
4.1.2.3. -This was not largely non-existent before Industrial Revolution.(Dyer,2009)
4.1.3. Technology as Methodology
4.1.3.1. -brains and knowledge behind all these processes.
4.1.3.2. -Usage doesn't refer to the physical product, but it refers to the routine, methods, and skills used to prepare modern hardware.
4.1.3.3. -Methodology thinking also helps us to put together a set of actions, and then making it a way of doing things.(Dyer,2009)

7. What is Technology?
7.1. Technology is the skill, methods and processes used to solve problems and produce goods.
7.2. According to Oxford Dictionary, Technology is machinery and devices developed from scientific knowledge. And it is the branch of knowledge dealing with engineering and applied sciences.
8. Why do we need new Technology?
8.1. Without new technology, the human species will probably go extinct one day if they do not find another suitable planet for life. We are destroying our planet at an exceptionally faster rate to travel to another solar system or galaxies. We have found some suitable planets. Then, we need to develop spaceships that can travel faster than the speed of light, but we need advanced technologies for this.
8.2. Communication
8.2.1. Technology has improved our way of communicating. We can now make calls from one corner of the world to the other. It has reduced the distance between the families. There are many apps like WhatsApp, Facebook.
8.3. Health
8.3.1. There is no doubt technology has improved human well-being in many ways. The advanced medical industry and advanced cure at hospitals have increased the life expectancy of patients. Technology also helped scientists to make vaccines like the one for Covid-19.
9. Things created by humans to make their life easier.
