As I mentioned in my text post, I am interested in etymology and have incorporated the Greek origin of the word technology into my Wordle (much to the delight of my daughter who is majoring in Classical Studies). My Wordle contains keywords that I compiled from a number of different sources and reflects the diverse nature of the word. As an experiment, I asked several of my colleagues to define the word “technology”. Not surprisingly, each definition was a bit different with the Computer Studies teacher providing the most technical definition.
