Technology

What is technology? I bet every person you ask will give you a different definition, depending on the things they use. Surely your mother will tell you that technology makes her life easier because of all the gadgets that were invented, your younger brother will say that technology is state-of-the-art computers and great detail games, you will probably say that it is your mobile phone. I will say that for me technology is parboiled food. It was probably the best invention in history. But it’s just me.

So we have established how we mortals view technology. But wouldn’t it be really interesting to see what it really is? Well, it’s about how a species’ customs and knowledge of instruments are meant to make life easier and how it affects its ability to fit into the environment. This is a general definition.

We humans see it as the result of the interaction of different sciences and engineering.

Technology is one of those terms that you can’t really define. It can mean everything from a main board to a way to organize a factory. It can refer to just about anything, because everything around us was, at one point in time, a technological breakdown.

How can we use it? As such, in specific areas such as “medical technology”, which describes only one aspect of science, or in expressions such as “state-of-the-art technology”, which is much more abstract.

We have used technology for as long as we have existed. It is in our blood to discover all kinds of things intended to make our lives easier. And if they don’t exist, you can bet we’ll invent them. Starting with the discovery of fire and with the adaptation of everything we find in nature to our needs and ending with the World Wide Web and space satellites placed in orbit, we managed to put everything in our favor. And that is technology. Well, as our ancestors said, since the invention of the wheel we have learned a lot about how to control our environment.

Technology is everything that surrounds us, allowing us to interact on a global scale. Imagine that! With just one click you can see your friend from the other side of the world in real time. Don’t just talk to her, but watch her, see what he does and how he reacts.

But technology also brought us a great curse. We don’t just invent good things. There are many destructive gadgets that do not facilitate our existence, but only complicate it or end it. Bang Bang! And that is not your son’s gun, but a real one that can end your life in a heartbeat.

Ultimately, technology is what makes the world go around every day. Well not exactly. Magic, or the laws of nature, do that. Technology is everything else, all things that can’t be blamed on magic. And that’s about 99.9% of the things you use in life. So, LIVE Technology.
