Technology is the making, modification, usage, and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, crafts, systems, methods
of organization, in order to solve a problem, improve a preexisting solution to a problem,
achieve a goal or perform a specific function. It can also refer to the collection
of such tools, machinery, modifications, arrangements and procedures. Technologies significantly affect human as well as
other animal species’ ability to control and adapt to their natural environments. The word technology
comes from Greek τεχνολογία (technología); from τέχνη (téchnē), meaning “art, skill, craft”, and -λογία (-logía),
meaning “study of-“.[1] The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples
include construction technology, medical technology, and information technology.
The human species’ use of technology began with the conversion of natural resources into simple
tools. The prehistorical discovery of the ability to control fire increased the available sources of
food and the invention of the wheel helped humans in travelling in and controlling their
environment. Recent technological developments, 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. However,
not all technology has been used for peaceful purposes; the development of weapons of ever-increasing
destructive power has progressed throughout history, from clubs to nuclear weapons.
Technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies,
technology 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 the Earth and its 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 present and future use of technology in society, with
disagreements over whether technology improves the human condition or worsens it. Neo-Luddism, anarcho-primitivism, and similar
movements criticise the pervasiveness of technology in the modern world, opining 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 and the human condition. Indeed, until recently, it was believed
that the development of technology was restricted only to human beings, but recent scientific studies
indicate that other primates and certain dolphin communities have developed simple tools and learned to
pass their knowledge to other generations.
