Understanding Technology: Definition, Origins, and Dimensions

Innovation technology notes DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGY (i) Technology is a general term for the process by which people develop tools and systems to improve their control and commitment to the physical environment. (ii) According to Henson (1962) quoted by Lewis (1991), technology is the production of useful goods, ensuring human health and comfort (Cole & Merrill 1982 cited by Lewis 1991) Technology always creates interaction OK, yes Please work develop his knowledge with the judgments of humans and machines. This means that the term technology is ambiguous in meaning and is probably one of the most misunderstood terms in everyday use of. Different authors define the technology differently, but they all point to the same thing. According to Arora et al. (2000), the ambiguity of the definition of is due to the fact that the machines come from different types. In cases of, which may be "intellectual property" (patents) or intangible (such as software programs), the design may refer to objects, e.g. standard, specialized business equipment or. Fetch form service. Technology transcends the engineering art and includes organizational structures and the human effort process to identify structures/processes to achieve defined goals. Technology is the key to enable/enhance improvement. So (i) Technology is the art of achieving results and is the scientific art of applying knowledge. (ii) It is a body of knowledge, idea, method, tool, procedure and design. (iii) Technology is also a way in which people agree to change or influence the environment. (iv) Technology is information, processes and systems and systems that can be used to create goods and services or simply to use knowledge, action or science. Origin Team Technology is derived from the Greek word "Tekhnic" meaning "techno", referring to art or craft, and "logia" meaning education, meaning "logy". So technology means the study of crafts. It is also associated with the French word for "road", meaning the number is useful and effective in various human activities. Technology Dimensions, technology can be viewed in five different dimensions. (i) Hardware - Tools and Equipment (ii) Software - Manuals, Instructions, Administrative Skills - Skills to operate the hardware. Productive Capabilities can be divided into three parts: - • Productive Capabilities - the skills, knowledge and resources required to efficiently produce goods using the existing factory and system. • Capital Investment - The skills, knowledge and resources to help companies expand facilities, find and install equipment, research, evaluate and select technologies. • Innovation capabilities include the skills, knowledge and resources that enable companies to absorb, adapt and improve technology. Technology Management • This is the process of using management systems to support technology development. • Technology management needs and time are identified; solutions planned, designed, built and implemented. • It is the process of managing the research activities numbered and communicating the results to the producer. • An important factor for competitiveness (and productivity) is the ability to place technological advancements (innovation, technological progress) within the framework of people's ideas.
