Question

Provide three examples (not from the reading--original): 1.) something you consider inherently to be technology; 2.) something you consider inherently NOT to be technology; 3.) something that might be considered technology in certain circumstances but is not always technology. Provide any explanation/clarification as needed--what contributes to making something technology or not?

Provide your own example of a particular technology that is "interpreted" differently by different people, to illustrate this reading's point about meaning. Explain/discuss the varying meanings of this given technology, considering things such as the preconceived notions or cultural contexts that would contribute to these differences in opinion. For example, you might think of a technology that you and your parents disagree about, or one that has a different meaning/purpose in another (non-American) culture.

Answer 1

Technology is something that makes human livez easier, for instance a washingachine would be technology.

2. Something that won't be technology would be light.

3. Although, light used in certain machinery and eauipemets could be considered as the whims of technology.

4. In my opinion, technology is ssomthing that makes a humans life easier by rendering a certain activity easy by virtue of its existence, and by doing the task itself.

Technology is thought of differently by different people and it is owing to the cultural construct.

Within India, there is a penchant for dling things by self and not deoedning on technology much as it is considered as an evil invitation which is making humans inherently lazy, but in the American context, the thrust of technology is invited with opne arms as it is considered as a necessary evil in hectic times such as this.
