I think of technology as the application of science.  In education,
computers and the Internet are examples of technology.  However, other
examples include calculators, pencil, paper, overhead projector, videotape,
and audiotape.  Technology does not have to be new.

One of the assignments I gave a class today was to define the word
technology. I thought that it might be interesting to hear what this board
thinks of when they use the word technology. I find that it has come to mean
mostly computers or the Internet which makes me sigh.

Any ideas?
