We've been analyzing what the word ‘technology’ means and thinking about how overlooked technologies impact our lives,” says Oona Miller ’21 of Madison, Wisconsin. “Most people wouldn’t think of a doorknob, a bicycle, or a root cellar as technology, but they’re inventions that have changed humans’ lives. There’s a lot of reading involved in this course, but the discussions we have about the readings are always fascinating.”

For example, students in the popular Technology Studies Concentration class debate the

inherent versus intended “needs” for technology.
benefits and consequences of technological change.
interrelatedness and patterns of power associated with technology.
global dimensions and cultural differences that shape tech development.
practical versus political agendas of seemingly “democratic” technologies.
These lively discussions, prompted by assigned readings posted on a shared digital blackboard, are guided by Guenther, who encourages students to “approach the subjects as scholars do — i.e., thinking about a set of issues over a period of time, debating your ideas with colleagues, and developing your own distinct perspective.” In a final independent project, each student chooses to analyze an innovation within a tech development era and demonstrate their ability to think critically and creatively.

Answer:

For thousands of years, humans have taken the natural world and bent it to their will. Using our knowledge of the world, we've changed it in ways that have benefited us. Science is the systematic study of the natural world, and it's a process that's expanded our knowledge dramatically over the last 400 years. With that knowledge comes capability. Technology is where we apply our scientific knowledge to achieve a particular goal. Technology can be super simple: one of the earliest and greatest technological achievements was the wheel. Nails, hammers, ropes, watering cans; anything that is created by us to take advantage of the world that we live in is technology.

The wheel

The wheel was one of the first pieces of technology to shape history

It's not hard to see how technology has completely changed the world we live in, and therefore changed history. These effects can be great or terrible. In this lesson we're going to go through a few of the most significant technological innovations humans have made and how they have shaped history.

Science and technology have had a major impact on society, and their impact is growing. ... By making life easier, science has given man the chance to pursue societal concerns such as ethics, aesthetics, education, and justice; to create cultures; and to improve human conditions.
