Technology ("science of craft",
from Greek τέχνη, techne, "art, skill, cunning of hand";
and -λογία, -logia[2]) is the sum
of techniques, skills, methods,
and processes used in the
production of goods or services or in the
accomplishment of objectives, such
as scientific
investigation. Technology can be the knowledge of techniques,
processes, and the like, or it can be embedded
in machines to allow for
operation without detailed knowledge of their
workings. Systems (e.g. machines)
applying technology by taking an input, changing it according
to the system's use, and then producing
an outcome are referred to
as technology
systems or technological systems.

Technology has many effects.
It has helped develop more
advanced economies (including
today's global
economy) and has allowed the rise of
a leisure
class. Many technological processes produce unwanted by-products
known as pollution and deplete
natural resources to the detriment of
Earth's environment. Innovations have
always influenced the values of a society and
raised new questions in the ethics of
technology. Examples include the rise of the notion
of efficiency in terms of
human productivity, and the challenges
of bioethics.
Philosophical debates have
arisen over the use of technology, with disagreements over whether
technology improves the human
condition or worsens it. Neo-Luddism, anarcho-primitivism, and
similar reactionary movements
criticize the pervasiveness of technology, arguing that it harms
the environment and alienates people; proponents of ideologies such
as transhumanism and techno-progressivism view continued
technological progress as beneficial to society and
the human
condition.
