What is Technology?

We use technologies to exchange information, to clean our clothes, to prepare our meals and to get from one place to another. But even everyday items like door locks, floor panels and furniture are technologies that we now take for granted and that seem less impressive to us than self-driving cars or 3D printing.

 Why Technology Is Important In Our Life

Technology  is inevitable in our everyday lives. This is because life without technology is pointless in today’s dynamic world. Technology, which brings together tools to promote development, use and information exchange, has as its main objective of making tasks easier and the solving of many problems of mankind. When technology progresses and makes our lives even more convenient, we must stress how beneficial it is to our lives.

Imagine life without technology Right now, what kind of life have we? Technology is part of our lives and is one of the key elements for mankind’s survival in a quick-phase world. The development of new technologies helps to save lives; it improves work and makes the world better.

What does the word technology mean?

What do we now understand technology to mean? When we hear the term, we often think about innovations in the field of communications. Or we imagine visions of the future that are reminiscent of science fiction movies. With regard to everyday life, we automatically think about items that are powered by electricity and that, as a rule, tend to be complex. But technology doesn’t automatically have to be complicated. Simply put, we are always using technology when we use scientific knowledge to achieve a specific purpose, whether in  industry or in our daily lives. From the discovery of the wheel to computers and from mp3 players to the latest technologies like self-driving cars, countless technological innovations have shaped daily life and will continue to influence it in the future.

What types of technology are there?

  • 1. Basic technologies - as the name implies, are the basis of our industry. They have  only been tested in theory and in the laboratory but have also been put to use for  years. Basic technologies include combustion engines, for example, as well as  transistors and the power grid. Basic technologies are of utmost importance for industry   and the economy. Ideally, a new technology will at some point establish itself as a basic   technology.

  • 2.Key technologies - are the  key to further development in a particular technology sector. Key technologies are a focus of scientific research. They are studied enough to yield a practical application, but not to the point that all potential applications can be fully realized. Examples of key technologies include bioinformatics, image recognition and robotics, as well as solar power and hybrid technologies.

  • 3.Peacemaking technologies - are technologies that are not yet ready for use but are more than just visions for the future. They already have a practical application and can be developed further into key technologies. Peacemaking technologies are often tied to very high-risk investments. Examples of pace-making technologies include neuroinformatic, gene technology and nanotechnology.
