Defining Technology Beyond Artifacts

Technology is not just about physical objects like computers or phones, but it extends to tools as well. The definition of technology can be broad, as seen in the idea of technology as an extension of the body. This broader perspective challenges common modern cultural notions, like referring to the tech industry or being 'in tech', highlighting the complexity of defining technology. Philosophers suggest that technology encompasses any tool, including writing, which was considered technology before the digital age. Ultimately, technology is viewed as a dynamic process rather than just static artifacts.
