This weeks’ readings did a swell job on elaborating on the definition of technology; taking what is seemingly a simple question and turning it into a 500 page headache, for technology is everything; representing the forefront of popular culture and the scientific world, being the latest advancement in equipment (even notions and ideals) that may better society or make even the most mundane task easier. In that, it’s rather difficult to specifically pinpoint what technology actually IS or what it defines. the laptop I’m writing this on? TECHNOLOGY! The phone that keeps distracting me? TECHNOLOGY! That one jaffle maker you remember having as a kid that was amazing but unfortunately broke then all jaffles that you had after were comparatively disappointing? TECHNOLOGY! Even those three dozen alarms that decide to sound in Bowen street every second is is technology. It’s a beautiful world when you look at technology and think “wow, someone actually improved on something and designed THIS”. Then again, there are some days when you look at some things and think “how the Hell was this an improvement!?” or “was this the best they could do?” (seriously, jaffle maker at home… I hate you). Oh well!
