Week 3, Let's Get Busy

what is this promoting?

Here is your WARM-UP Question:

• List the 5 most important technologies in your life. Give a brief reasoning of the importance of each. Remember the definition of technology as according to the worlds most referenced encyclopedia reads:
  

  Technology is a broad concept that deals with human as well as other animal species' usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it affects a species' ability to control and adapt to its environment. Technology is a term with origins in the Greek "technologia", "τεχνολογία" — "techne", "τέχνη" ("craft") and "logia", "λογία" ("saying").^[1] However, a strict definition is elusive; "technology" can refer to material objects of use to humanity, such as machines, hardware or utensils, but can also encompass broader themes, including systems, methods of organization, and techniques. The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include "construction technology", "medical technology", or "state-of-the-art technology".
