Technology
What is it?

Technology is the field that applies science to solve problems with an industrial or commercial end in mind. Engineering applies human traits such as imagination, judgement, and intellectual discipline to existing human knowledge to create or use technology safely and efficiently.
For example: All buildings require the use of technology of some sort. A lastingartistic expression requires materials to be formed, and creating those materials requires some understanding of their chemical and physical properties. Architecture requires an understanding of the effects of weather,soil and water, in addition to some knowledge of the strengths of the materials used.
The term technology is usually used to explain new inventions and gadgets using recently derived scientific principles and processes. However, even very old inventions such as the wheel are, strictly speaking, technology.
