Technology refers to the knowledge, tools, and practices that use scientific or other organized knowledge to achieve some practical goal. In other words, technology puts scientific and other knowledge to use. Technology can be simple—such as a shovel to dig a hole—or it can be dazzlingly complex—such as the Internet communications network that now encircles the globe. Technology can be both material and nonmaterial. Material technology would include things such as robots, computers, and nuclear bombs, whereas nonmaterial technology includes modes of social and economic organization, such as bureaucratization, mechanization, and automation.
