Technology means a lot of things these days. The word 'technology' brings to mind various devices, such as laptops, phones, and tablets. Technology may also make you think of the internet, data, or advancements in the world of engineering. This may be a narrow scope though, as technology includes so many creative solutions to many everyday problems humans have faced all throughout history.
Technologies from around the world have been adopted to aid human life, from the most basic inventions to complex systems that function entirely independently from the human experience. Technology has revolutionized society in countless ways; technology allowed early humans to grow their own food, navigate the open oceans, tell time, and connect society on a global scale. The transition from manual to technological methods of solving problems took place simply because relying on technology makes work easier. This lesson discusses these advancements in technology and provides an overview of what technology is.
The vision of making machines that can think and act like humans has evolved from movie fiction to real-world facts. We have long attempted to inherit Intelligence in Machines to ease our work. There are bots, humanoids, robots, and digital humans that either outplay humans or coordinate with us in many ways. These AI-driven applications have higher speed of execution, have higher operational ability and accuracy, while also highly significant in tedious and monotonous jobs compared to humans. The ability of humans to develop and improve technology has caused great advancements and has turned manual machines into automatic ones. So, It is said that technology is smarter than machines.
