1.7. Old definition
1.7.1. 1 is the main way we use the word technology today, which is for things made from electrical parts (example: Phones, computers, clocks). The 2nd, which is really the same but more broad, is for tools humans have developed for a practical purpose (example:the wheel, a well, cars)
2. Why do we need new technologies?
2.1. For survival
2.2. The needs and wants of people are always changing and evolving
2.3. To further improve all aspects of society
3. After
3.1. One Persons Look
3.1.1. "A table or a chair, would you consider that technology?"
3.1.1.1. Yes I would consider them technology. Tables and chairs were designed to solve the need to have a place to set your food and a place to sit
3.2. Have my ideas changed?
3.2.1. Yes! I found it interesting when Kevin Kelly said his definition of technology is "Anything useful that a human mind makes. It's not just hammer and gadgets, like laptops. But it's also law. And of course, cities are ways to make things more useful to us." (Kelly, 2010)
3.2.1.1. I hadn't even considered a more abstract system like the law or cities being a form of technology
3.2.1.1.1. New definition
3.2.1.2. Kevin Kelly tells technology's epic
3.2.2. Technology is always changing, so my idea of what technology is will always be changing too
3.2.2.1. The evolution of technology in education
3.2.2.1.1. Cave paintings
3.3. "This usage of technology does not refer to a physical product or even the physical machines used to make the product, but the routines, methods, and skills used to make modern hardware. Consulting firms make billions of dollars refining and streamlining the methods (or “business processes”) that companies use to make their hardware. Methodological thinking trickles into our lives every time we say, “Let’s try to standardize that” whether it be a recipe, a Bible study, or a parenting method. In doing so, we are putting together a set of actions, and making it a way of doing things – a technique" (Dyer, 2009)
3.3.1. The idea that technology could even be something like your actions was kinda mindblowing. But this quote helped me realize that technology doesn't need to be physical or even on a grander abstract scale like the law, but can also be a personal type of technology with how you DO things
