Things i need to figure out my own definitions for:
TECHNOLOGY - a tool, procedure, method, technique, applied material, or state of knowledge and development developed by humans in order to control Nature/their surroundings
TECHNOLOGICAL ARTIFACT - products of an economy and forces for economic growth which affect and are affected by socio-cultural phenomena. they are also a means to develop and project military power.
