    Technology refers to the collection of techniques, skills, and processes used to produce goods and services. Throughout history, technology has helped humans travel, communicate over long distances, and develop more advanced economies, though it also creates pollution and depletion of resources. Philosophical debates have occurred regarding the impact of technology on humans and the environment, with disagreements over whether technology improves or worsens the human condition. Recent studies indicate some non-human primates and dolphin communities have developed simple tools as well.

    Technology("science of craft", fromGreek,techne, "art, skill, cunning of

    hand"; and-,-logia[3]) is the collection of techniques,skills, methods and


    processesusedintheproductionofgoodsorservicesorintheaccomplishment
    of objectives, such as scientific investigation.Technology can be theknowledge
    of techniques, processes, etc. or it can be embedded in machines, computers,
    devices and factories, which can be operated by individuals without detailed
    knowledgeoftheworkingsofsuchthings.
    The human species' use of technology began with the conversion of natural
    resources into simple tools. Theprehistoricdiscovery ofhowtocontrolfireand
    the laterNeolithicRevolutionincreased the available sources of food and the
    inventionofthewheelhelpedhumanstotravelinandcontroltheirenvironment.
    Developments in historic times, including theprintingpress, thetelephone, and
    theInternet, have lessened physical barriers tocommunicationand allowed
    humans to interact freely on a global scale. The steady progress of
    militarytechnologyhas broughtweaponsof ever-increasing destructive power,
    fromclubstonuclearweapons.

    Technology has many effects. It has helped develop more advancedeconomies


    (including today'sglobaleconomy) and has allowed the rise of aleisureclass. Many
    technological processes produce unwanted by-products, known aspollution, and
    deplete natural resources, to the detriment of Earth'senvironment. Various
    implementations of technology influence thevaluesof a society and new technology
    oftenraisesnewethicalquestions.Examplesincludetheriseofthenotionofefficiency
    in terms of humanproductivity, a term originally applied only to machines, and the
    challengeoftraditionalnorms.
    Philosophical debates have arisen over the use of technology, with disagreements
    over whether technology improves thehumanconditionor worsens it.Neo-Luddism,
    anarcho-primitivism,andsimilarreactionarymovementscriticisethepervasivenessof
    technology in the modern world, arguing thatit harms the environment andalienates
    people; proponents of ideologies such astranshumanismandtechno-progressivism
    view continued technological progress as beneficial to society and the human
    condition.
    Untilrecently,itwasbelievedthatthedevelopmentoftechnologywasrestrictedonlyto
    human beings, but 21st century scientific studies indicate that otherprimatesand
