Technology

The word technology refers to the making, modification, usage,
and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, crafts, systems,
and methods of organization, in order to solve a problem,
improve a preexisting solution to a problem, achieve a goal,
handle an applied input/output relation or perform a specific
function. It can also refer to the collection of such tools,
including machinery, modifications, arrangements and

other animal species' ability to control and adapt to their
natural environments. The term can either be applied generally
or to specific areas: examples include construction technology, medical technology, and information technology.
