What is Technology?
Technology is any application that is engineered or created using applied science/math to solve a problem within a society. This can be agricultural technologies, such as with ancient civilizations, or computational technologies in more recent times. Technology can encompass ancient technologies such as the calculator, compass, calendar, battery, ships, or chariots, or modern technology, such as computers, robots, tablets, printers, and fax machines. The technology of the future includes advanced Blockchain technologies, smart cities, more advanced smart devices, quantum computers, quantum encryption, and advanced Artificial Intelligence.
Ancient and modern human civilizations have both benefited from and How Technology Changed Our Livesbeen impeded by the technological innovations, inventions and engineering applications used within societies to perform specific tasks. For societies to thrive and evolve, technological innovations have become necessary, while at the same time the culture, ideals and aspirations of human societies have shaped how those civilizations have created, benefited from, and been impeded by, technology. As technological systems are invented by humans and reflect the very essence of a population’s needs and culture, human societies/civilizations and their technology have become inseparable from one another
Agricultural Cycles: Agricultural societies were based on the cycle of the seasons, and thus would have an agricultural, cyclical concept of social evolution based on agricultural technologies. Since the technologies of a society also help to determine the economy of a society, agricultural societies, technologies and their economy were all intertwined.
Progressive: While also cyclical, the explosion of technology before and after the industrial revolution resulted in societies moving forward in social progress (via technology) in a way that was not necessarily tied to agriculture, which resulted in more diverse economies and the development of new societal novelties, such as an interconnected world (e.g. the Internet) and globalization.
