Okay all you smarties out there...I have to write a paper for my philosophy of technology class (yes, it's due monday & yes, i'm waiting til the last minute)
The topic is: "What is Technology?"
Here's where you come in, I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on what you think technology is! This is such a broad topic, I have no clue where to even begin formulating my ideas.
Will you be so kind and help a stupid guy out?
Answer
Technology is a broad concept that deals with a species' usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it affects a species' ability to control and adapt to its environment However, a strict definition is elusive; "technology" can refer to material objects of use to humanity, such as machines, hardware or utensils, but can also encompass broader themes, including systems, methods of organization, and techniques. The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include "construction technology", "medical technology", or "state-of-the-art technology".

or webster's definition:
a: the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area : engineering 2 <medical technology> b: a capability given by the practical application of knowledge <a car's fuel-saving technology>
Sooo .. Here's where you come into the equation. What aspect of technology are you most interested in?
Science, engineering and technology?
Artificial intelligence?
Genetic engineering ?
List of emerging technologies
