Technology is...
UNESCO, the United Nations Education, Social and Cultural Organization, defines technology as:
"...the know-how and creative processes that may assist people to utilize tools, resources and systems to solve problems and to enhance control over the natural and made environment in an endeavor to improve the human condition.”
Technology becomes culture?
Accepted ways of acting, feeling and thinking defines culture. Technology is credible in defining what’s acceptable in culture.
If we believe technology will solve our problems. Life’s values will be seen through technology.
Technology is a tool we created, it didn’t create us however.
Who we are guides us to create who we become
by what we make
