techne and logos, which means art and word.
Together, technology means a discourse on
arts

concept not just only involve arts
▪ But also the machines and tools was attached
to the word “technology”
 ▪ In one way or another, each person in the
society either directly or indirectly
affected by technology whether he wills it
or not
▪ In fact, most people survive their
everyday lives with great reliance to the
different technological advancements
INTRODUCTION ▪ While there may be some who would
claim are not greatly affected by
technology
▪ The fact cannot be denied that technology
is already an inevitable part of the society
 ▪ It is with great effort that people
were able to achieve such great
inventions.
