==== Technology is the usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, crafts or methods of organization. Technology is all around us. From the pen we write with to the car we drive. The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include construction technology, medical technology, or state of the art technology or high technology. Technologies can also be exemplified in a material product, for example an object can be termed state of the art. Technologies significantly affect human as well as other animal species' ability to control and adapt to their natural environments. Technology is the application of science, especially to industrial or commercial objectives. Technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies, technology has helped develop more advanced economies (including today's global economy). Many technological processes produce unwanted by-products, known as pollution, and deplete natural resources, to the detriment of the Earth and its environment. Various implementations of technology influence the values of a society and new technology often raises new ethical questions. ==== ==== Technology is important in our lives because without technology planes would not have been invented and we need planes to get to different places around the world also boats and cars would not have been invented. Life would be much harder without technology because we would not have a stove to cook on nor a bed to sleep on. We would not have a desk to right on, a mirror to look in or a fan or air condition. Imagine having to live in the 32 deg. heat without any fan or air condition, we will hate it and I mean HATE it. Our lives would be miserable without technology and therefore it is very important in our lives. ==== ==== Literally, at every instant of time, you are surrounded by technology. Whether you are working or resting, you are always using technology. The importance of technology, in fact lies in its omnipresence and widespread use. ==== ==== Considering the pace at which technology is advancing, it has become necessary to understand the importance of technology so that we can keep up with the racing time. Technology has become important in the fast life of today. It is technology, which has sped up our lives; it is technology, which has brought distant locations closer and made the world a smaller place to live. ==== ==== After the discovery of electricity, technology was employed to bring electricity to households in every corner of the world. The world could light up in the dark, thanks to the effective generation and distribution of electricity. The application of technology led to the use of renewable energy resources for the production of electricity. Solar energy, w ind energy and other natural sources of energy started being used. ==== ==== It was due to the advancements in technology that water from natural water resources could reach homes through robust water storage and transmission systems. It was due to technology that food could be processed and preserved. It became easy for us to satisfy our basic needs because of technology. We can lead a luxurious life, thanks to technology. ====
