What is Technology?

According to some dictionaries technology means is an application of science, especially to industrial or commercial objectives. It is also the scientific method and material used to achieve a commercial or industrial objective. In Merriam-Webster dictionary technology means “the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area" and "a capability given by the practical application of knowledge". According to Wikipedia technology can be most broadly defined as the entities, both material and immaterial, created by the application of mental and physical effort in order to achieve some value. In this usage, technology refers to tools and machines that may be used to solve real-world problems.

The word "technology" can also be used to refer to a collection of techniques. Technology is a term with origins in the Greek technología (τεχνολογία) — téchnē (τέχνη), 'craft' and -logía (-λογία), the study of something, or the branch of knowledge of a discipline. 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".

Therefore “Technology” includes the use of materials, tools, techniques, and sources of power to make life easier or more pleasant and work more productive.
