WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY

The word technology is a combination of two Greek words, techne and logos. Techne means art, craft, or skill. Logos means “to speak of”. Some have since taken the wordlogos to imply the practical application oftechne, but others say that is stretching its etymological roots.

We use technology to accomplish various tasks in our daily lives, in brief; we can describe technology as products, processes or organizations. We use technology to extend our abilities, and that makes people as the most important part of any technological system.
We apply technology in almost everything we do in our lives, we use technology at work, we use it to , extract materials , we use technology forcommunication, transportation, learning, manufacturing, creating artifacts, securing data,scaling businesses and so much more. umans have been storing, retrieving, manipulating and communicating information since the Sumerians in Mesopotamiadeveloped writing in about 3000 BC,[5] but the term information technology in its modern sense first appeared in a 1958 article published in the Harvard Business Review; authors Harold J. Leavitt and Thomas L. 

Emerging technologies (as distinguished from conventional technologies) are fields of technology that broach new territory in some significant way, with new technological developments. Examples of currently emerging technologies include educational technologyinformation technology,nanotechnologybiotechnologycognitive sciencerobotics, and artificial intelligence.
