1. What I thought before
1.1. I thought technology were physical gadgets that were made by humans to make life easier. When I would think of physical gadgets, I would often think of electronic devices, such as phones and Laptops. I would often think of the future and that Technology is fairly a new thing, that many older generations do not know of.
1.1.1. Examples of what I thought
1.1.1.1. Electronic Devices
1.1.1.1.1. Phones
1.1.1.1.2. Laptops
1.1.1.1.3. Headphones
1.1.1.1.4. Cameras
1.1.1.1.5. Radios
1.1.1.1.6. Tablets
1.1.1.1.7. Television
2. What I think now
2.1. Now I know how wrong I really was. I realized that Technology is much more than gadgets and electronic devices. Technology is a process, a system, a lifestyle and much more. Technology is the new discoveries and inventions that make life easier.

4. How does Technology affect us today?
4.1. Technology affects us everyday, throughout the most basics of tasks. For example, cooking, opening a door, reading a book, and much more. We often take technology for granted, even though without the use of our most basic of technologies we would not be able to survive.
5. Things that I found interesting about Technology after this module...
5.1. Technology is the most powerful force in the entire world.
5.2. The dietary needs of humans has adapted throughout the use of Technology
5.3. I really liked the definition of Technology given by Kevin Kelly within his TED Talk stating that, "Technology is anything useful invented by a mind"
5.3.1. I really liked this definition of technology because I found it straight forward, and very easy to understand. Unlike many dictionary definitions. For example, the Merriam Webster dictionary definition is quite confusing in my opinion because there are a couple different variations of the definition, changing for each industry. From the Education industry to the Medical industry.
5.3.2. Different definitions of Technology learned throughout the module.
5.3.2.1. "Technology is knowledge or a set of tools that helps make things easier or resolve a problem"(Tuck, 2019)
5.3.2.1.1. In his video, Charles says that he likes this definition of technology, when he says,"I think I like that."
5.3.2.2. In this video, Technology is defined using different examples of common everyday Technologies. For example, "umbrellas help to keep us dry in the rain and the lock helps to keep our things safe."(Nusys, 2019)
5.3.2.3. In this video, Technology is defined by showing it as more than just an electrical device, but by showing the emotional aspect of it. The main purpose of this video/commercial was to show how Technology can be used to create happy and joyful memories.
6. What the Module has taught me
6.1. I learnt that the history of Technology dates back to the year 1829, and that fire is technology, and if we didn’t have Technology, humans would not be able to survive as a species.
7. Why do we need Technology?
7.1. If we didn’t have technology, humans would not be able to survive.
7.1.1. For example...
7.1.1.1. If we didn’t have fire, we would not be able to cook our foods, and if we ate our foods (meats) raw, humans would likely die of food poisoning.
7.1.1.2. If we didn’t have basic weapons, humans would not be able to fight off dangerous animals and would most likely die.
