Technologies are artifacts made and used through a systematic application of knowledge to reach practical goals.[1]: 117 [2] They are widely used in medicine, science, industry, communication, transportation, and daily life. Technologies include physical objects like utensils or machines, as well as intangible tools like software.
Many technological advancements have lead to societal changes. The earliest known technology is the stone tool, used in the prehistoric era,[3] followed by fire use, which contributed to the growth of human brain size and language throughout the Ice Age.[4] The invention of the wheel in the Bronze Age enabled wider travel and the creation of more complex machines.[5] Recent technological developments, including the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet have lowered barriers to communication and ushered in the knowledge economy.
While technology contributes to economic development and human prosperity, it can also have negative impacts like pollution or resource depletion, or cause social harms like technological unemployment caused by automation.[6] As a result, philosophical and political debates have arisen over the role and use of technology, the ethics of technology, and the mitigation of technology's potential downsides.[7] Historical and contemporary movements like neo-Luddism and anarcho-primitivism criticize technology's pervasiveness,[8] while adherents to transhumanism and techno-progressivism actively support technological change, viewing it as emancipatory.[9] Many negative impacts of technology can be mitigated through technological innovations like renewable energy in transportation and industry,[10] genetically modified crops to address soil depletion,[11] and space exploration to mitigate global catastrophic risks.[12]
