What Is Technology?

Technology is The purposeful application of information in the design, production, and utilization of goods and services, and in the organization of human activities.


Technology can be described in the following ways:

  1. Tangible: blueprints, models, operating manuals, prototypes.
  2. Intangible: consultancy, problem-solving, and training methods.
  3. High: entirely or almost entirely automated and intelligent technology that manipulates ever finer matter and ever powerful forces.
  4. Intermediate: semiautomated partially intelligent technology that manipulates refined matter and medium level forces.
  5. Low: labor-intensive technology that manipulates only coarse or gross matter and weaker forces.
