definition of technology

In our daily lives, most of us use certain words that we believe are universal, approved and adopted a value for all persons in all contexts.

Often, the more often the word is used, the more we gave our purposes is that the possible use of the term.

One of the popular words, is widely used and very much jargon in vogue now-a-day “technology “.

examine the meaning of the word “technology” technology “consists of two parts”

words. “- ” Technikos “ and ” energy “

historic withdrawal date technology comes from the Greek word technikos> means “of art, skillful, almost.”

part of the word “energy / STRONG> shows ” knowledge “ or systematic treatment.

So the conclusion is literally the term literally technology “able and practical knowledge.”

However, this definition is too broad, and we must overcome this narrow vision of technology, like all technology starts with a goal of man, intending to meet certain human needs and behavior.

Indeed, technology manipulation of nature for human purposes – Yes, the manipulation of nature, we will use a slightly different definition of technology.

We will determine the technology, knowledge of the manipulation of nature for human purposes.

This definition is stored under the concept of knowledge and practice (human use), but adds a new concept of manipulation of nature .

This means that all the practical skills and techniques, ultimately derived from alteration or manipulation of nature.

technology depends on the basis of nature ( Science ), but extends to the light naturally through the manipulation of the phenomenon ( Engineering ).

As we manipulate nature, the ability to predict what nature will do during handling is the most useful even necessary.

ethics of technology

According to our definition, manipulates nature for human purposes>

technology manipulates nature.

The man is a part of nature.

By manipulating nature, man manages.

This technology manipulates People , influence and even determine human behavior, and, in turn, decreased social behavior, traditions and culture.

person technology that touches the lives human in many ways, directly or indirectly, by trying to change behavior.

Thus, the ethical dimensions technology.

rationale Technology of human purpose.

What is the main purpose of human life

Does it increase life ?

It to improve the quality of life ?

Does greater satisfaction in life

We can distill all these different aspects into a single coherent concept. value of human life

Thus, the fundamental objective of technology to enhance the value of human life.

TECHNOLOGY and value of human life


We will define the value of man As part of this definition, ultimate goal of technology is to increase the value of human life , with the long-term maximize the happiness and contentment and a corresponding reduction or minimization of pain and suffering (physical, mental and emotional) .

As a generalization, people want a better life .

better life can generally saying things such as freedom of want , access to ownership of at least some of the non essential, comfort or luxury, Health , a reasonable life expectancy, lack of emotional satisfy human relations (in connection with the satisfaction of work experience and meaningful interpersonal relationships), , and personally rewarding

human needs and values ​​

human needs and values ​​change over time as technology progresses.

man tends to take the fruits of new technology more easily (pleasure , joy, comfort), then he will not accept changes in his personal life.

Thus, social and cultural changes have always lagged behind the technology driving the away and disconnect thus leading to sadness, frustration, pain and suffering (emotional) and concomitant reduction in the value of human life.

crude method, but the practice of Classification of human values ​​is to separate the needs of those who actually physiological and those who psychological .

Most new technologies to address issues physiological , running dangerous , Dirty , or Employment (3 D’S), thus increasing value of human life.

As psychological , for example, on information technology (IT) may be in the order.

information technology (IT) has two distinct categories of human psychological needs:

cognitive needs – , due to the need of man for information to be ready to act or make a solutions , you may need, and

emotional needs – Related to needs a man like they need to do interesting work, to know their work is important, to feel the personal safety and be under control.

too much emphasis on cognitive needs and the negligence of emotional needs can lead to emotional that balances the benefits of technology, and this may be detrimental to the value “of human life in general.

TECHNOLOGY IMPACT

Results and the implications of technology

In our haste to milk technology for immediate economic gain, we often lose sight of long-term consequences: higher order effects and indirect, particularly delay and the unforeseen consequences of technology.

Sorenson several methods network effect is a useful method to analyze the impact and implications of technology.

Let us introduce the term very harmful , to represent the adverse effects and consequences of technology rather than benefits as a useful function.

We can classify the effects of technology [Effects cons consequences] that:

ACTION CONSEQUENCES

(i) first order : The Benefits

(II) second order: Malefits Direct

(III) Third order: Malefits indirect

(IV) of fourth order: Unintended Malefits

(V ) Fifth-order: Malefits Delay

Such an analysis would certainly be useful in assessing the impact of various effects of technology on the value of human life in the long term in the complex.

The early identification of damage to the value of human life can be useful in assessing the impact of technology on reducing disparities and smooth with the absurd.

Conclusion

We must not lose sight of our basic principle that cardinal objective of technology is increasing the value of human life by maximizing happiness and minimizing suffering.

ethics management technology includes blend with where a study, analysis and interaction softens the conflict between cognitive and emotional processes of man.

This may be inclined to conclude with the comment by RM Pirsig, who asserts that “the way to resolve the conflict between human values ​​and technological needs can not escape technology. It is impossible. How to resolve the conflict in order to break barriers of dualistic thought that prevent a real understanding of what technology … not the exploitation of nature, and the fusion of nature and spirit of man in a new kind of creativity as a way out.
