The Nature of Technology


The nature of technology involves the development of processes and tools in order to aid human development. As humanity changes and evolves so does technology. Students will need to know the implications of rapidly changing technology in order to engineer success in their future endeavors in and out of the classroom. Technology is a multi-faceted entity, in that it uses principles, laws, and theories developed in the scientific world, to help transform materials and energy into desired products and services needed to meet the needs of humanity. Technology provides opportunity for exploration and discovery, and allows us to find new ways of knowing. Technology enables us to interact with our environment in new ways. As technology evolves so do our needs, and therefore our environment. Technology is a cyclical notion in that is continuously changing and developing, along with our need for human fulfillment.
