What Is Technology?


For something name-checked so widely throughout our society, the precise meaning of the word technology is not that well-known. Technology is so frequently placed in conjunction with the word science that many think of the two as the same. Some equate technology purely with gadgetry while others think somewhat hazily of all the things that make the present different from the past.

          

The technology is defined as the set of knowledge and skills which, when applied in a logical and orderly, enable humans to modify their material or virtual to meet your needs environment , that is, a combined process of thought and action in order to create useful solutions Technology responds to the desire and will that we people have to transform our environment, transform the world around us looking for new and better ways to satisfy our desires.

Technology is the application of knowledge and skills to make goods or to provide services. It includes the tools and machines that people use to convert natural resources into items they need.It also includes the methods they use to convert their resources. Technology, therefore is both product and process.




Technology is one of the most powerful agents of change in our society. New inventions bring new ways of doing things. Change comes with technology and it is now moving at a faster pace than ever.
Technological change on Prince Edward Island has a wonderful and storied history. This webpage will illustrate some of the "inventive Islanders" who led the way in many fields of new technologies.

In a research and development organization such as ESA, technology is a concept of primary importance, so by necessity the definition of the word is precise: 'technology is the practical application of knowledge so that something entirely new can be done, or so that something can be done in a completely new way.'

For an even shorter answer, try the single attribute that defines Homo sapiens as a species: our ability to make and use new tools. Most of the human body is pretty unremarkable really when compared to other animals: it was only the tool-making abilities of our brain and hands that carried us from Africa's Serengetti plain to the Moon's Sea of Tranquility.



Relationship between Science and Technology
It is quite common to confuse technology with applied science, defining technology as something subordinate to scientific activity, however, it is one of the most widespread topics about the nature of technological activity.
In the first place, the motivation, activity and products of science and technology are different.
The motivation of science responds to the desire of people to know and rationally understand the world around us and the phenomena related to it, activity is research and the resulting product is scientific knowledge.

What is Supercomputer

A supercomputer is a type of computer that has the architecture, resources and components to achieve massive computing power. Today's supercomputers consists of tens of thousands of processors that are able to perform billions and trillions of calculations or computations per second. Supercomputers are primarily are designed to be used in enterprises and organizations that require massive computing power. A supercomputer incorporates architectural and operational principles from parallel and grid processing, where a process is simultaneously executed on thousands of processors or is distributed among them. Although supercomputers houses thousands of processors and require substantial floor space, they contain most of the key components of a typical computer, including a processor(s), peripheral devices, connectors, an operating system and applications. As of 2013, IBM Sequoia is the fastest supercomputer to date. It has more than 98,000  processors  that allow it t...

What Is An Amplifier?

An amplifier is an electronic device that increases the voltage, current, or power of a signal. Amplifiers are used in wireless communications and broadcasting, and in audio equipment of all kinds.  Or Amplifier is device which increase the strength of signal. An amplifier, electronic amplifier or (informally) amp is an electronic device that can increase the power of a signal. An amplifier functions by taking power from a power supply and controlling the output to match the input signal shape but with a larger amplitude. In this sense, an amplifier modulates the output of the power supply based upon the properties of the input signal. An amplifier is effectively the opposite of an attenuator: while an amplifier provides gain, an attenuator provides loss. Amplifier is made up of transistors. before invention of the transistor vacuum tubes were used in amplifier. Classification of Amplifiers 1-Type of Signal ...

What Is Artificial Intelligence ?

Since the invention of computers or machines, their capability to perform various tasks went on growing exponentially. Humans have developed the power of computer systems in terms of their diverse working domains, their increasing speed, and reducing size with respect to time. A branch of Computer Science named  Artificial Intelligence  pursues creating the computers or machines as intelligent as human beings. Definition  AI (artificial intelligence) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. These processes include learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using the information), reasoning (using the rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions) and self-correction. Particular applications of AI include expert systems, speech recognition and machine vision. Or we can say that Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science that aims to create intelligent machines. It has b...
