The Mysterious World of Technology

Technology is a broad term that encompasses the use of tools, machines, and devices for the purpose of accomplishing tasks. It is a powerful force that has greatly influenced the course of history and the nature of human society. Technology has helped people develop agriculture, transport goods and services, communicate, bank, and even fight wars. The printing press spawned the Age of Enlightenment; bows and arrows gave rise to firearms and nuclear weapons; and the microprocessor has revolutionized how we write, compute, bank, operate businesses, conduct research, and interact with one another.
