Broadly speaking, technology is how people modify the natural world to suit their own purposes. From the Greek word techne, meaning art or artifice or craft, technology literally means the act of making or crafting, but more generally it refers to the diverse collection of processes and knowledge that people use to extend human abilities and to satisfy human wants and needs.
What is Technology?

Technology Shapes Our Lives
• We are all doing things we never imagined
• We are absolutely “hooked” on technology
• Few people understand technology

The Problem
• Graduating technologically illiterate students
• “Haves” and “have-nots”• Global competition• Competition for careers• High-stakes testing • Escalating rate of
change• Isolated classrooms
