Definition of the word "technology."

Definition of the word “technology” from my dictionary is “a combination of all the knowledge, equipment, methods etc. That is used in scientific or industrial work.” That means, things we use for our convenience are all in the part of technology and we are living in a world of technology.
When I first heard the word “technology,” I imagined TV, radio, internet, and so on. However, now I think that those are just methods to use technology to our lives. Technology means more broad and basic underneath than those tools, and I think one of the good examples of technology is electricity.
Without electricity, we cannot use anything such as light, computer, TV, and so on, and our lives will be that in the ancient time. All the companies and factories will stop their work, and we will use fire to cook and make our clothes by ourselves.
To make the definition clear, technology is artificial things that help our lives comfortable. That means, even a pen we use is also one of technology because it helps us to write and record things easier.
Car is also a good example of technology. It reduces time that we consume to move from on place to another, and we also can carry a lot of stuff putting them in the car.
However, I don’t think that technology is only in the frame of visibility. Technology is not only visible but also invisible. A good example of invisible technology is education. We want our surroundings to be more convenient. No one wants his or her life to be uncomfortable. That’s why people buy a new stuff or learn something.
Through education in school, we learn how to think wiser reviewing the process how people in the ancient time thought. Through education at job, we learn skills to manage some equipment. That is the process how we control our technology system.
By learning more and more, we will be satisfied or unsatisfied with technology, and we can develop an unsatisfied technology to an advanced technology closer to be a satisfied one. Without desire to make the world developed, we can’t create any single technology in our lives.
That is my shallow definition and opinion about technology. To tell the truth, even though I use the word “technology,” I’ve never been thinking about what technology is, and still I am not sure what it is. Through this “technology reporting” class, I hope that I can get a clear idea about technology and learn how to use it efficiently.
