Knowledge and use of mechanical arts and science is called technology. It actually is a broad term, which encompasses in it the information dealing with how one uses the available tools and crafts to create something somehow controls and becomes a part of his environment. We somehow relate technology with science, engineering and computers which however is not quite correct because technology can be involved in arts, architecture, agriculture, in economical development and wherever we can see involvement of machinery, hardware and utensils becoming a part of systems and techniques of an organization.

For different time periods different things can be called technology. For stone age prehistoric people invention of fire and wheel was technology, for middle age people the horse and donkey carts were technology and for us the next generation cars, planes, ships and other vehicles were technology. The progress in the scientific technology has been beyond explanation. Being able to sit at home and surf through hundreds of channels at one time just by sitting in front of the television, with the help of a remote only is technology, Switching on lights and music system by a simple click of a remote is technology; burning of a stove just by turning the knob to open is technology. In short wherever we look, we are surrounded with technology. May it be schools, banks, offices, or even the local grocery store. Since our childhood we were always told that the solar system comprises of nine planets revolving around the huge ball of fire, the sun .it is technology in the field of astronomy, which has now led us to know that the ninth planet, Pluto, is not actually a planet. It is technology only, which has led man to reach not only moon but also mars.

It helps you become a part of the rat race for success. Keeping updated about technology is no big deal as all you got to do is get online and type the correct word for the search.
