Abstract

When people think about technology from a contemporary perspective, they often think about all the gadgets and devices that are common-place in our lives. For example, only ten years ago we were watching movies on VCR's and were talking on cell phones that would be unrecognizable compared to today's standards. Is this the essence of technology, or is there more to it? technology has been something that has undoubtedly marked our world and our lives for a very long time and especially since the industrial revolution occurred in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Major changes occurred in the way the world produced its goods, and the level at which goods were produced. Science and technology began changing the world. How then are we to view technology today? It is clearly a phenomenon that as been influencing the world for any centuries. Is it any different today than it was one or two hundred years ago?
