Technology is the use of tools and systems to improve human environment and solve problems. It includes a wide range of topics like communication, information processing, manufacturing, etc. Early humans developed tools and systems to create fire, hunt, and forge weapons that helped them survive in the Stone Age. Similarly, many new technologies have changed the world for better.

The most significant technology is the Internet which is a worldwide network that connects people and devices around the globe. It includes services like email, social networks, web browsing, and video calls. Internet has helped to break the boundaries of communication, education, and business. The development of technology has made it possible to live a happier life as it provides access to more information and faster communication.

It has also increased productivity and efficiency in various sectors of the economy, such as healthcare and manufacturing. For example, the use of robotics in manufacturing can reduce labor costs and production time while ensuring quality control. Moreover, technological resources help organizations manage large amounts of data to make informed decisions.

Education and training is another area that has benefitted from the development of technology. Students can access a wide range of learning materials on the internet, such as scientific articles and journals, educational videos, tutorials/guidebooks, and blogs of educators/authors. They can learn coding, AI, and other STEM fields without the need for a teacher’s guidance.

It is important to note that while ‘technology’ works well as a shorthand, catch-all sort of term, it would be prudent not to allow all methods and techniques (even wholly mental ones) to be lumped together under the broad umbrella. For more on this, see the superb 1999 collection of essays called Visions of Technology: A Century of Vital Debate About Machines Systems And The Human World, edited by Richard H. Rhodes.
