what is technology?

1. what I learned from this module.

1.1. technology is the organization of knowledge for the achievement of practical purposes(as cited in Thierer, 2014, paragraph 10).

1.2. according to Kevin Kelly (2010), technology is everything useful that human invented.

1.3. Dyer(2009) thinks that "'technology' is not just the phones in our pockets and the laptops in our bags. when we use these pieces of hardware we are taking part in something much bigger than ourselves, something that affects us individually and socially .

1.4. I agree with Li-Hua(2007) that technology can be considered four closely inter-linked elements: technique, knowledge (normally being considered as "technology"), the organisation of the production and the product.
