Xazeon Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 You may think technology might be your computer, labtop, or cell phone. Well, you're wrong. The word [i]technology[/i] comes from a Greek word, [i]techne[/i], meaning "art or skill". You cannot touch technology, you cannot see technology. Technology is everything we've done as humans, technology is an idea. Electronics are products of technology. At least, this is what technology is according to my tech. teacher and his college professor. Just thought I should teach some of you about this. Discuss your definition of technology and modern day technology, or ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
