Technology refers to tools, techniques, and systems used to solve problems or serve a purpose. Recent technological developments have lessened physical barriers and allowed global interaction, though weapons technology has progressed destructively. While technology has advanced economies, it can also cause pollution and resource depletion detrimental to the environment. For students, technology is a tool to construct knowledge, with understanding constructed through tools like teachers and technology.
