Explain the importance of technology in at least 100 words

Technology is the process by which people change the environment to meet their wants and needs. Although technology is not limited to objects, technology includes computers, airplanes, software, stoves, cars, and the like. Technology covers all the infrastructure needed to create, manufacture, operate and repair a technological artifact, from company management and training of engineers to production plants and service stations. The knowledge needed to create and use a technological artifact, such as engineering know-how, production experience and technical skills, are very important and equally important parts of technology.

Technology is a relatively new and diverse concept that is constantly evolving. By the beginning of the 20th century, the term "technology" also included a set of tools, machines, tools and ideas. By the middle of the century, the concept was already defined as "the means and activities by which man shapes and manipulates his living environment".

The creation, production and use of new technological solutions required the creation of large organizations and the creation of complex technological networks. One example is the set of technologies needed for a car - oil refineries, petrol stations, repair shops, tires, car manufacturers, motorways, and so on. The role of the state in shaping technology also increased, through state technology policy and regulatory mechanisms.
