Defining technology is simplified in choosing to view technology as end-product of desire.
“Technology is the extension of our human capabilty, in order to satisfy our needs or wants.”
Technology can be simple or complex; original or improved; frivilous, necessary or somewhere in-between. The basis remains, however, that it is limited by current human capability and driven by current desire.
