Blog 09 - Tech Feature Outline + Words of the Week



Technology Feature 
Note: I began writing my feature, this is my intro.
The Webster’s dictionary definition of technology is “the use of science in industry, engineering, etc., to invent useful things or to solve problem”. 

The Cambridge dictionary defines it as “the ​methods for using ​scientific ​discoveries for ​practical ​purposes, esp. in ​industry”

They are both definitions that leave the door wide open for an individual to interpret it as they will.
In the era we live in currently, the term “technology” has been narrowed down today into smart phones and TV screens as well as laptops and iPods , however technology  is so much more elaborate than that. 

The human species' usage of technology started with the transformation of resources garnered from nature into basic utensils and tools. Then there was the monumental, prehistoric unearthing of how to control fire which was followed was the development of the wheel, which allowed humans to travel in and control their environment. 

As time the decades progressed, so did the technological inventions.

The printing press in_____ , the telephone made by ____ in ____ , and eventually the Internet, have continually made it easier to communicate  and have made it possible for us to intermingle at will across the globe.


Those are just the regularly thought of types when really, almost anything could be considered technology tooth brush is technology. So is an apple peeler. I use such random examples because a lot of technology just becomes a fundamental part of life. 

In a perfect world, technology would make the world a flawless place to live in, while everyone is happy and there are no issues whatsoever. As we all very well know, we do not live in a perfect world.

Technology does lead to issues. It uses up some natural resources, it becomes more of a priority then it probably should and it could be physically damaging as well.

This piece will discuss the various ways, positive and negative, obvious and obscure, that technology is an ingrained part of the world we live in today.
