After our class discussion, I realized I had only a vague idea of what technology is.
Here are some definitions:
Here are some definitions:
"practical art of scientific knowledge"
"a systems of ideas"
"delivery systems"
Types of technology: pens, papers, alphabet, XM radio, computers, Internet, tele-communications, satellite communications.
My epiphany came when I heard my friend Kent say he uses sponges, which aren't "high-tech." The way he used the word "tech" gave me an idea. Since sponges are "low-tech," that means that there is a better or more advanced way to do what he needs. So my definition: technology=an improved or advanced way of doing something.
Thanks Kent!

I liked your definition of technology being an improved or advanced way of doing something. It helps bring into account the things like "sponges" that I was having a hard time putting into the category of technology! Nice job.
nice blog! You're right, I'm not getting it all, but your explanation of what you're studying is helpful, and I think if I keep reading your posts, I'll get smarter! I really like that picture of you and Kent!
