 technology
This article is about the use and knowledge of techniques and processes for producing goods
and services. For other uses, see Technology (disambiguation).

A steam turbine with the case opened. Such turbines produce most of the electricity used today. Electricity
consumption and living standards are highly correlated.[1]

Technology ("science of craft", from Greek τέχνη, techne, "art, skill, cunning of hand"; and -
λογία, -logia[2]) is the sum of any techniques, skills, methods, and processes used in the
production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific
investigation. Technology can be the knowledge of techniques, processes, and the like, or it can
be embedded in machines to allow for operation without detailed knowledge of their
workings. Systems (e.g. machines) applying technology by taking an input, changing it according
to the system's use, and then producing an outcome are referred to as technology
systems or technological systems.

The simplest form of technology is the development and use of

basic tools. The prehistoric invention of shaped stone tools
followed by the discovery of how to control fire increased
sources of food. The later Neolithic Revolution extended this,
and quadrupled the sustenance available from a territory. The
invention of the wheel helped humans to travel in and control
their environment.
Developments in historic times, 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.
Technology has many effects. It 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
Earth's environment. Innovations have always influenced
the values of a society and raised new questions in the ethics
of technology. Examples include the rise of the notion
of efficiency in terms of human productivity, and the challenges
of bioethics.
Philosophical debates have arisen over the use of technology,
with disagreements over whether technology improves
the human condition or worsens it. Neo-Luddism, anarcho-
primitivism, and similar reactionary movements criticize the
pervasiveness of technology, arguing 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.
 Usage of technology
The use of the term "technology" has changed significantly over the last 200 years. Before the
20th century, the term was uncommon in English, and it was used either to refer to the
description or study of the useful arts[3] or to allude to technical education, as in
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (chartered in 1861).[4]
The term "technology" rose to prominence in the 20th century in connection with the Second
Industrial Revolution. The term's meanings changed in the early 20th century when American
social scientists, beginning with Thorstein Veblen, translated ideas from the German concept
of Technik into "technology." In German and other European languages, a distinction exists
between technik and technologie that is absent in English, which usually translates both terms as
"technology." By the 1930s, "technology" referred not only to the study of the industrial arts but to
the industrial arts themselves.[5]
In 1937, the American sociologist Read Bain wrote that "technology includes all tools, machines,
utensils, weapons, instruments, housing, clothing, communicating and transporting devices and
the skills by which we produce and use them."[6] Bain's definition remains common among
scholars today, especially social scientists. Scientists and engineers usually prefer to define
technology as applied science, rather than as the things that people make and use.[7] More
recently, scholars have borrowed from European philosophers of "technique" to extend the
meaning of technology to various forms of instrumental reason, as in Foucault's work
on technologies of the self (techniques de soi).
Dictionaries and scholars have offered a variety of definitions. The Merriam-Webster Learner's
Dictionary offers a definition of the term: "the use of science in industry, engineering, etc., to
invent useful things or to solve problems" and "a machine, piece of equipment, method, etc., that
is created by technology."[8] Ursula Franklin, in her 1989 "Real World of Technology" lecture,
gave another definition of the concept; it is "practice, the way we do things around here."[9] The
term is often used to imply a specific field of technology, or to refer to high technology or
just consumer electronics, rather than technology as a whole.[10] Bernard Stiegler, in Technics
and Time, 1, defines technology in two ways: as "the pursuit of life by means other than life," and
as "organized inorganic matter."[11]
Technology can be most broadly defined as the entities, both material and immaterial, created by
the application of mental and physical effort in order to achieve some value. In this usage,
technology refers to tools and machines that may be used to solve real-world problems. It is a
far-reaching term that may include simple tools, such as a crowbar or wooden spoon, or more
complex machines, such as a space station or particle accelerator. Tools and machines need not
be material; virtual technology, such as computer software and business methods, fall under this
definition of technology.[12] W. Brian Arthur defines
technology in a similarly broad way as "a means to fulfill
a human purpose."[13]
The invention of integrated circuits and
the microprocessor (here, an Intel 4004 chip from 1971)
led to the modern computer revolution.
The word "technology" can also be used to refer to a
collection of techniques. In this context, it is the current
state of humanity's knowledge of how to combine
resources to produce desired products, to solve
problems, fulfill needs, or satisfy wants; it includes
technical methods, skills, processes, techniques, tools
and raw materials. When combined with another term,
such as "medical technology" or "space technology," it
refers to the state of the respective field's knowledge
and tools. "State-of-the-art technology" refers to the high
technology available to humanity in any field.
Technology can be viewed as an activity that forms or
changes culture.[14] Additionally, technology is the
application of mathematics, science, and the arts for the
benefit of life as it is known. A modern example is the
rise of communication technology, which has lessened
barriers to human interaction and as a result has helped
spawn new subcultures; the rise of cyberculture has at
its basis the development of the Internet and
the computer.[15] As a cultural activity, technology
predates both science and engineering, each of which
formalize some aspects of technological endeavor. In
this sense, it remains connected with artistic
endeavors.[16]
 Impact of technology
Over the last 2 to 3 decades, technology has become more and more a part of our daily lives, to
the point where it has taken over our lives. Take a moment, stop reading this post and look
around you. What do you notice? Do you see tech, gadgets, computers, video monitoring?

Notice how our lives are surrounded by gadgets and tech appliances. The PC at your desk, the
cell phone next to your bed, the Wifi router, even your thermostat – all these are examples of
how technology has transformed every aspect of our lives; some for the good and others may not
be so good.

In this post, we are going to look at some of the latest feats in technology and analyze their
positive and negative impact on our lives.

With each passing day, technology is growing by leaps and bounds. And despite concerns about
unemployment and over-dependence, proper use of technology holds a bright future for us. So,
how can technology shape up the future in a better way? Let’s take a look!
Excessive consumption of fossil fuels has led our planet to the brink of catastrophic
consequences. However, technology is helping us deal with this problem by developing clean
energy. Development in the field of solar power technology has drastically reduced the cost of
solar cells.
 Advantages of technology
New technology has a range of advantages and disadvantages for businesses and
business stakeholders. It is important for businesses to assess the risk and make
informed decisions about whether to use the latest technology.

Advantages of new technology include:

 easier, faster and more effective communication

 better, more efficient manufacturing techniques
 less wastage
 more efficient stock management and ordering systems
 the ability to develop new, innovative approaches
 more effective marketing and promotion
 new sales avenues
 Increase production: the technology helps increase production multiple
times. Human efforts and energy of working are limited. But with machinery,
the production can be multiplied the number of times as machines have the
capability to perform better. The work done by the machine is more accurate
and is done with perfection. All the products are alike, which is not possible in
the case of human efforts. Technology has helped people make profits
multiple times.
 Saves times: today, time is money. Thus, technology helps to save a lot of
time and increases efficiency and productivity. We can complete huge tasks
within less time. Today everything is automated, and this technology helps to
save a lot of time in doing things that are not possible by humans. Example: If
you do not have the time to buy clothes, just shop online, and you will get the
delivery at your doorsteps. Thus, it is through technology that one can use
time on other important things.
 Technology helps improve services: in case you buy a television, and it
stops after a few days. You need not worry as the TV is in the warranty
period. You can simply call the company or its customer care and get your TV
fixed. Thus, with a simple phone call or mail, things have become so easy.
 Easy and quick communication: technology has made communication just
a button away. With a click of a button, you can make calls, send emails, fax,
order things online, and do a lot of things with the help of technology.
Technology has helped us in giving better modes of communication. Now you
don’t need to write letters to your loved ones if you are missing them. Do a
video call and feel them close to you.
 Reduces online crime/cybercrime: today, the technology is so advanced
that there are apps made to find fraud within seconds. Cyber-attacks have
reduced as there are advanced algorithms made to detect any kind of
cybercrime.
 Disadvantages of technology
 Unemployment: Technology has brought unemployment to a great extent with
the advancement of technology. People are being dependent on computers for
every work and also for their existence. This further has brought unemployment
as a single computer is capable of doing the work of so many people that too in
very less time.
 Data security: Today, your data is not at all safe with you as there are people
who know the use of technology and have become hackers. Using the latest
technology, they can hack your computer, bank accounts, office data, and a lot
more just by sitting at home. It has become risky to share OTP and other
details online as the risk of fraud is high. Sharing a single piece of information
online clearly means that there are vast chances of data reaching the hands of
criminals, hackers, terrorists, and foreign enemies.
 People get distracted easily; People get distracted easily by using different
gadgets rather than going through something fruitful. There are social media
that has kept youngsters, adults, and children engaged, and thus they get
distracted from doing their daily chores. Kids find it hard to concentrate on their
studies as most of them today own a laptop or a phone.
 Health issues: People today are so obsessed with technology that they
forget to care about their own health. This affects their health in different
ways. They have eye-sight problems, obesity, insomnia, and a lot more.
Some people cannot sleep without using their phones. Some cannot focus on
their studies as they have a habit of checking their phone every now and then.
 People get involved in seeing unwanted things: due to the internet,
people, especially students and youngsters, get involved in seeing the wrong
apps. They are using apps that are not legal and are good for their growing
minds. Things that are not pleasing become entertainment for some just
because of the internet and technology.
 Addiction: some people have an addiction to playing online games, using
dating websites, watching a movie every night. There are people who have an
addiction to gambling online which has its own diverse effects. In addition to
anything, even technology is bad.

Disadvantages of new technology include:

 increased dependency on technology

 often large costs involved with using the latest technology (especially for small
businesses)
 increased risk of job cuts
 closure of high street stores in favour of online business
 security risk in relation to data and fraud
 required regular updates
 can go down or have faults, which can stop all business operations instantly
 technology in our country

ndia ranks third among the most attractive investment

destinations for technology transactions in the world. Modern
India has had a strong focus on science and technology,
realising that it is a key element for economic growth. India is
among the topmost countries in the world in the field of
scientific research, positioned as one of the top five nations in
the field for space exploration. The country has regularly
undertaken space missions, including missions to the moon
and the famed Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV).
India is likely to take a leading role in launching satellites for the
SAARC nations, generating revenue by offering its space
facilities for use to other countries.
As of November 2021, the number of universities in India stood
at 1,019.
India now ranks 46 among 50 countries in the Global
Innovation Index (GII); this is an improvement from the 48th
position in 2020. The Government is extensively promoting
research parks technology business incubators (TBIs) and
(RPs), which would promote the innovative ideas till they
become commercial ventures.
India’s gross expenditure in R&D was forecast to reach US$
96.50 billion in 2020. By 2022, R&D expenditure is targeted to
reach at least 2 per cent of the country’s GDP. The engineering
R&D and product development market in India is forecast to
post a CAGR of ~12% to reach US$ 63 billion by 2025, from
US$ 31 billion in 2019.
IT spending in India is estimated to reach US$ 93 billion in
2021 (7.3% YoY growth) and further increase to US$ 98.5
billion in 2022.
India's National Artificial Intelligence Strategy prepared by NITI
Aayog outlined a way forward to harness the potential of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) in different fields. Accenture offers a
framework for assessing the economic effect of AI for selected
 Case study
Case studies were captured at six universities across
England (see Table I)
during the autumn of 1996. The universities included a
representative range
including former polytechnics and the Open University
to complement older
university structures. Each case study focused on a
course where IT was
used to assist teaching and learning, and covered a
different subject area.
The project team visited each of the sites where they
interviewed staff and
students as well as collected data by observation and
student questionnaires.
From the outset of this study the research team, having
worked in the
field of IT in education for many years, endorsed the
view that this research
was concerned with complex educational innovations.
In HE these
innovations were extended over courses, departments,
institutions and
sectors. In gathering and understanding data, the
research team worked to
ensure active participation of all those involved in order
to increase the
reliability both within and beyond the current research
study.
The content of the reports from the case studies, which
offered a rich
description of the courses, their circumstances and
contexts within the

institution and outcomes of interviews with staff and
students, were checked
and agreed with the participants to increase their
validity and were in line
with ethical considerations. In the cases which follow,
an initial description
is given followed by a table in standard format giving
an overview of key
aspects of each and ending with a summary of the
benefits and drawbacks of
the use of ITATL in that course. Within the confines of
this article it is not
possible to provide the rich description of the case from
which the overview
and outcomes given have been taken.

Before 2 weeks our English teacher told us about

our project work she explained to us in detail then
she asked us that we are comfortable in group or
we will do this project individually most of us
would to like to do the project individually
So then I decided to research on technology I
choose this topic to know how people use
technology in their daily life or in their business
Do they have some positive thoughts regarding it
or they think it as wastage to time then we
decided to prepare a questionnaire
I did my project with full of energy and
excitement and after all it was done with a great
success
Reflection sheet
We took our topic
“TECHNOLOGY” as it is the
platform which everyone uses.
I enjoyed being part of this
project. I also learned some
new things about technology.
But all this worked out well, I
made my project smoothly.
It was very difficult for us to
do it but after hard work we
complete our project with
help of my teacher
