Technology [Téchne + Logía]
Most people consider Technology as a tool such as a computer or video camera that makes their lives easier and convenient. However, Technology was the most important invention to develop human kind. The invention of the application of fire was the catalyzer that evolved humans to begin the 'hunter gathering' style of life. Technology to me is application of science to improve the human condition. The application of science could be in any category of science including social sciences. Many ignore the daily tools in their lives as just appliances, and don't consider tools such as the typewriter, a book, etc... People will have different definitions for the word Technology. Depending on the person, of his or her background and environment, they may consider Technology completely differently than me.
