Technology is a broad concept that deals
with a species' usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it affects a
species' ability to control and adapt to its environment. In human society, it
is a consequence of science and engineering, although several technological
advances predate the two concepts. Technology is a term with origins in the
Greek "technologia", "τεχνολογία" — "techne", "τέχνη" ("craft") and "logia",
"λογία" ("saying"). However, a strict definition is elusive; "technology" can
refer to material objects of use to humanity, such as machines, hardware or
utensils, but can also encompass broader themes, including systems, methods of
organization, and techniques. The term can either be applied generally or to
specific areas: examples include "construction technology", "medical
technology", or "state-of-the-art technology".
The human race's use of technology began with the conversion of natural
resources into simple tools. The prehistorical discovery of the ability to
control fire increased the available sources of food and the invention of the
wheel helped humans in travelling in and controlling their environment. Recent
technological developments, including the printing press, the telephone, and the
Internet, have lessened physical barriers to communication and allowed humans to
interact on a global scale. However, not all technology has been used for
peaceful purposes; the development of weapons of ever-increasing destructive
power has progressed throughout history, from clubs to nuclear weapons.
Technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In
many societies, technology 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 the Earth and its environment.
Various implementations of technology influence the values of a society and new
technology often raises new ethical questions. Examples include the rise of the
notion of efficiency in terms of human productivity, a term originally applied
only to machines, and the challenge of traditional norms.
Philosophical debates have arisen over the present and future use of technology
in society, with disagreements over whether technology improves the human
condition or worsens it. Neo-Luddism, anarcho-primitivism, and similar movements
criticise the pervasiveness of technology in the modern world, claiming 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. Indeed, until recently, it was
believed that the development of technology was restricted only to human beings,
but recent scientific studies indicate that other primates and certain dolphin
communities have developed simple tools and learned to pass their knowledge to
other generations. »» |
