Etymologically, the word technology comes from the Greek phrase the “science of craft”. Techne means art and skill. The word technology refers to techniques, skills, methods, and processes in the production of goods or services to meet objectives more effectively. The simplest form of technology are basic tools. Technologies like the wheel, printing press, telephone, and internet have created pathways of communication bringing people together.
