Open Your Technology

Technology or trade has more than one definition. One is the development and application of tools, machines, materials and processes that help people solve the problem. As a human activity, technology began to be known before the science and engineering.

Technology made on the basis of science with the aim to facilitate the work of man, but if in fact the technology even complicate, feasible so-called Science?

The word technology often describe the invention and tool use principles and processes of the newly discovered scientific discovery. Nevertheless, the discovery of a very long time like a wheel is also called a technology.

Another definition (used in economics) is a technology viewed from our present state of knowledge in how to combine resources to produce the desired product (and our knowledge of what can be produced). Therefore, we can see changes in technology at our technical knowledge increases.

According to Iskandar Alisyahbana (1980) Technology has been known to mankind since millions of years ago because of the encouragement to live a more comfortable, more prosperous and more prosperous. So since the beginning of civilization in fact there has been technology, although the term “technology has not been used. The term “technology” comes from “techne” or ways and “logos” or knowledge. So it literally means knowledge of technology on how. Understanding the technology itself thinks is the way of doing things to meet human needs with the help of reason and the tool, so it seemed to lengthen, strengthen or make more potent members of the body, senses and the human brain.
Meanwhile, according to Jaques Ellul (1967: 1967 xxv) gives the meaning of technology as “the whole method that rationally leads and has a characteristic efficiency in every sphere of human activity” Understanding technology in general are:

* – A process that increases the value-added
* – A product that is used and produced to facilitate and improve performance
* – A structure or system in which the process and the product was developed and used
*

While the impact is an effect caused by something. So the impact of technology is the result caused by a technology, it could also be due to either bad consequences in human life.
