Technology - my philosophy

The word technology literally means the study of techniques. In a deeper sense, it is the study of the principles of art and craft.

The word originates from a Greek word, ฯ„ฮตฯ‡ฮฝฮฟฮปฮฟฮณฮฏฮฑ (tekhnologรญa) which means the "systematic treatment of grammar".

It further derives from the word ฯ„ฮตฯ‡ฮฝฮฟฮปฯŒฮณฮฟฯ‚ (tekhnolรณgos) which means "treating by the rules of art".

It is a combination of the words ฯ„ฮญฯ‡ฮฝฮท (tรฉkhnฤ“) + -ฮปฯŒฮณฮฟฯ‚ (-lรณgos) which means art and -logist restepectively.

ฮปฯŒฮณฮฟฯ‚ (-lรณgos) further derives from the word ฮปฮญฮณฯ‰ (lรฉgล) which means "to put in order".

Modern day definition

So technology by itself in the modern world means the methods as well as devices created out of such methods, which organize the wonders of nature. This while in itself is just a form of "art", by adding our intentions to such a device or method, we can make it "useful".
