Technology can be defined as the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry. There are several types of technology including information technology, medical technology, communication technology, transportation technology, energy and power technology, and nanotechnology. Information technology allows information to be sent around the world through devices like televisions, the internet, satellites, GPS, and cell phones. Medical technology creates tools to treat disease and injury using technologies like lasers, prosthetics, ultrasound, and medications. Communication technology is used to exchange information through magazines, DVDs, photography, video games, and social networks. Transportation technology provides ways to move people, animals, products, and materials via airplanes, trains, subways, automobiles, and bicy

3. WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY ?
• “the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry” –
Oxford Dictionary
• “Technology is the making, modification, usage, and knowledge of tools, machines,
techniques… in order to solve a problem … achieve a goal … perform a specific function. The
term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include construction
technology, medical technology, and information technology.” - Wikipedia
• “The purposeful application of information in the design, production, and utilization of
goods and services, and in the organization of human activities.” – Business Dictionary
