-‘technology’ is the collection of (‘techniques’ / ‘skills’ / ‘methods’ / ‘processes’) used in the production of ‘goods’ (or ‘services’) OR in the ‘accomplishment’ of ‘objectives’ (such as ‘scientific investigation’)-
.
(‘technology’ can be the ‘knowledge’ of (‘techniques’ / ‘processes’ / etc)…)
(…or it can be embedded in (‘machines’ / ‘computers’ / ‘devices’ / ‘factories’) which can be operated by ‘individuals’ without detailed knowledge of the workings of such things)
.
(human use of ‘technology’ began with the conversion of ‘natural resources’ into simple ‘tools’)
.
(the pre-historic discovery of how to control ‘fire’ + the later ‘neolithic revolution’ increased the available sources of ‘food’…)
(…and the invention of the ‘wheel’ helped humans to ‘travel in’ + ‘control’ their ‘environment’)
.
(developments in historic times, including the ‘printing press’, the ‘telephone’, and the ‘Internet’, have lessened physical barriers to communication and allowed humans to interact freely on a “global scale”)
(the steady progress of “military technology” has brought weapons of ever-increasing ‘destructive power’, from ‘clubs’ to ‘nuclear weapons’)
(‘technology’ has many effects)
(it has helped develop more advanced economies (including today’s ‘global economy’) and has allowed the rise of a ‘leisure class’)
(many technological processes produce unwanted by-products, known as “pollution”, and deplete natural resources, to the detriment of earth’s environment)
(various implementations of ‘technology’ influence the values of a society and new technology often raises new ethical questions)
(examples include the rise of the notion of “efficiency” in terms of ‘human productivity’, a term originally applied only to ‘machines’, and the challenge of traditional norms)
(philosophical debates have arisen over the use of ‘technology’, with disagreements over whether ‘technology’ improves the ‘human condition’ or worsens it)
(‘neo-luddism’, ‘anarcho-primitivism’, and similar ‘reactionary movements’ criticize the pervasiveness of ‘technology’ in the ‘modern world’, arguing that it harms the ‘environment’ and alienates people; proponents of ideologies such as ‘transhumanism’ and ‘techno-progressivism’ view continued ‘technological progress’ as beneficial to ‘society’ + the ‘human condition’)
.
*ALLAH UNABOMBER’*
.
(cue the slav ‘lauren tociu’)
“i’d like to buy a ‘vowel’…”
.
(until recently, it was believed that the development of ‘technology’ was restricted only to ‘human beings’…)
.
(…but ‘2000s scientific studies’ indicate that other ‘primates’ + certain ‘dolphin’ communities have developed ‘simple tools’ and passed their knowledge to other ‘generations’)
