Technology ("science of craft", from Ancient Greek τέχνη, techne, "art, skill, cunning of hand"; and -λογία, -logia[1]) is the collection of techniques, skills, methods|, and processes used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as w:scientific investigation. Technology can be the w:knowledge of techniques, processes, and the like, or it can be embedded in w:machines to allow for operation without detailed knowledge of their workings. ( Wikipedia )
w:Tools, w:power tools, w:automation and AI are on the same continuum.
- Automation and AI is not technically oriented, but more of a "what does this mean for humans?" approach.
