Technology
By the word technology we mean the making, use and knowledge of any tools, machines, devises or techniques that help us carry our a specific task.
The word technology stems from the Greek words technè, meaning art or skill, and logìa, meaning study.
The use of technology began when man first converted natural resources into tools; the discovery and control of fire or the invention and use of the wheel can be considered early instances of technology.
In modern society, when we talk about technology we refer mainly to all the digital devices that have become part of our lives: computers, tablets, mobile phones, televisions, satellite navigators, and the amazing possibilities they offer.
Communication technology is especially appealing to youths; technology has become essential to their social experience: they turn to texting and social networking sites such as Facebook or Myspace to make plans, keep in touch or catch up with friends and relatives, and not only long distance ones, and even to settle disputes.
