Technology ("science of craft", from Greek τέχνη, techne, "art, skill, cunning of hand"; and -λογία, -logia[3]) is the collection of techniques,skills, methods and processes used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation. Technology can be the knowledge of techniques, processes, etc. or it can be embedded in machines, computers, devices and factories, which can be operated by individuals without detailed knowledge of the workings of such things.

Technology can be described in the following ways:

1. Tangible:blueprints,models,operatingmanuals,prototypes.
2. Intangible: consultancy,problem-solving, andtrainingmethods.
3. High: entirely or almost entirely automated and intelligent technology that manipulates ever finer matter and ever powerfulforces.

From my understanding technology is a practical purpose in the industry of the scientific knowledge.

technological machines

Technology here, technology there, technology everywhere!!!.

Does technology help that much?

Look without technology we wouldn't have had these new phones called Iphones... so i think its time to that technology and keep sharing it to make it more happier. 

Technology to me is the science. When I think of technology I picture it more difficult to science, because technology and science are like mother and older sister.

Technology innovation:

Technology has improved in many ways since it began. From 1960 to how it changed in how we using it today.

Science:

The intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the natural world through observation and experiment,

The systematically organized body of knowledge on a particular subject.

Importance:

• Science has invaded every branch of modern life.
• It is the noise of machines, cars, factories etc...

The food that we eat, clothes we wear, books we read, games

These have something to do do with Science.

"Everything we do is done to us is in some way or another connected with science".

Scientific methods are used to make things:

• Example paper, paper would not exist if science did not get invented.
• We can travel from one place to another because of science.
• We get informed on what is happening around the world.
• Science brought people together and made life richer.

Most things in our households work from electricity and electricity is created from science.

science

I remember when science was just mixing chemicals together and looking at what the final outcome would be.. but now that we all know science is reading your formula.

Reflexivity:

Circular relationship between cause and effect.

In sociology refexivity therefore comes to mean an act of self (reference where examination or action). "Bends on back on",refers to, and affects the entity instigating the action examination.

Reflexivity involves making the research process itself.

In economics, reflexivity refers to the self-reinforcing effect of market sentiment, whereby rising prices attract buyers whose actions drive prices higher until the process becomes unsustainable and the same process operates in reverse leading to a catastrophic collapse in prices.

Technology and science helped me and everybody else in many ways. I come to agree that I did science in school and it was no joke, but to actually know what science is and how it began explains where we are today. Our country is rich because of science and its technology.

In my life today technology keeps improving from switches to upgraded tablets that keep upgrading even till this day. These items help us understand things easier. Most people do not go to the library because of the influence of technology.

I use technology, and technology is made by science eg: computers, tablets, cars and computers.

Who knew there was going to be a computer that uses Mac?.

What  is graphic design?

 graphic design

1. the art or skill of combining text and pictures in advertisements, magazines, or books.

- The process of visual communication and problem solving through the correct use of typography, space, image and colour.

Many people don't get  to understand what graphic design is all about, some think it is all about drawing and creating pictures from other pictures. However it is not all about that.

These played a big role in Graphic media.

Typographic posters were used as graphics to advertise things in the media. These were successful because they grabbed people's attention due to how successful it was.

Photography:

Photography is used regularly from the 1850 till today. We now can use is differently in upgraded ways.

A technological item called the camera is used to capture pictures/images and is able to save it in a memory card to be save there for a while till further used. To me the camera operates like a eye. 

the eye

The eye is like a camera only this time our brain is the memory card or storage.

Graphic media in 1850 posters and images:

mass madiation

money

industry machines

captured moments

Many things were  used back in the days that created graphic media. If you see today we used upgraded versions of equipment. Therefore if it was not for the inventions of graphic media like the Guternburg printing press then I don't think there would be printing today, all we do is get fascinated by the big printing machines but not really sure how people make them. 

Cameras have been invented, new cellphones are created, and big machines with better quality are made.

Thanks to the influence of technology and science our lives have been improved form the better.
