Technology is Imagination. While we generally think of technology as being scientific and science as formulaic technology is actually creative. Think about the processes of inventing a lightbulb or telephone, or computer. It’s through the the use of the imagination that technology comes about.
This picture of many R2 units reminds me that technology is much like the creation of a movie, they both require imagination. Also you use technology to create a movie. As well, in Star Wars, the producers had to use their imagination to come up with the technology portrayed in the movie. I think that Star Wars is a good representation of technology.
