Among the different definitions of communication is “the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs” (dictionary.com). Communication has been the staple of human civilization and evolution throughout our history. It has allowed for great expansions of ideas, promotions of diversity, and potential for solutions to almost any problems the world has to offer through improved technology. But what is technology? It is defined as “the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life, society, and the environment, drawing upon such subjects as industrial arts, engineering, applied science, and pure science”(dictionary.com). It’s roots are in its processes being technical in nature and it seems to correspond with innovation directly and indirectly.

The definition of technology corresponding with innovation directly and indirectly is interesting. Do you know of any examples of that?
ReplyDeleteI would say that technology corresponding with innovation indirectly would be things like new computer programs, new phones, new GPS systems. I think that the direct correlation is the technological components that make these new products available. Things like more bandwidth, more processing speed, more fiber optics, that sort of thing.
