“Given that technology and technological systems are important in every culture around the world, it is absolutely essential that they become a primary focus of study.¨ Rodney L. Custer, author of Examining the Dimensions of Technology, uses this quote to describe the importance of technology and the impact it has around the world. Technology has always been an important field of study because of the many ways we have found to revolutionize our way of life. Lieve Van Woensel and Geoff Archer, authors of “Ten technologies which could change our lives”, give some examples of how technology has revolutionized our way of life in ways such as “the ability to discover previously unexplored places, coordinate our activities at home and in the workplace, and communicate with each other instantaneously.” These are only a few ways in which we have used technology to improve our lives. Bill Gates, author of “The Road Ahead” and founder of Microsoft, says that “Technology changes will change how the world works -- how people connect with each other.” These changes have had a big impact on the way the world operates today. Technology has advanced more in the last 100 years than since the dawn of civilization. How has technology been able to become so developed in such a short amount of time? To help answer that question, Justin Cook, owner of Glass City PC, says that “Key industrialists and innovators during the Industrial Revolution have laid the groundwork for the advancements in

“What is technology?” Have you ever marveled about the prominence of technology in our day-to-day lives? If you ever have, you have undoubtedly appreciated its complexity and its capability to make everyday responsibilities easier for yourself. For example, you probably admire how cellphones have completely eradicated the old-fashioned method of communicating, by sending mail to friends and relatives. Or how the invention of laptops and computers have brought up a new, more efficient method to stay in touch with the world, though the internet, rather than the previous method of newspapers. However, all these basic ideas of the importance of technology are ideas of what technology has done for you, and can be completely different for others. Have you ever wondered what technology has done for others, perhaps people not in the same circumstances as you, perhaps of a different age, religion, race, gender, or socio-economic status than you? Maybe you haven’t, but Microsoft, a leading technological superpower, certainly have wondered about this as seen in their “Empowering” ad.
