When I was searching for something to define what I think technology means, I came across this statement and felt that it captured exactly what I was looking for in one short phrase. That is, I believe technology comes in many different shapes, sizes and forms but at the root of it all is the notion that it cannot be directly found in nature as it is created and manipulated by humans. In addition, not only is the world of technology continuously evolving, but the rate at which it is being developed is at such a rapid pace that it can easily be described as being constantly in motion, or simply put ‘in action’.
