Technology and knowledge
|
|
| Our creation and use of technology is because of our knowledge of technology and world in general. As we have improved our knowledge of the human genome (genes), human laboratories have produced products for curing of certain diseases. As our knowledge of energy and power has improved, so has the types of cars and their power efficiency. | ||
| The knowledge of science | ||
| Science, the empirical search for scientific truth has been the single greatest collection of knowledge for the development of technology. The science of the Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein are the reason for the powered machines and atomic weapons of today. | ||
| The missing pieces in science | ||
| Yet for the power of science, important pieces of science remain missing. Science is an incomplete and imperfect model. Science excludes paradox. Science does not provide a cohesive irrefutable standard model of the elements of the universe. Science does not yet provide efficient answers to all key complex systems. | ||
| The classification of technology as knowledge | ||
| It makes sense then to classify technology by the very thing that makes it possible– knowledge itself. To that end, the following section investigates the nature of technology by a classification that reflects key knowledge of certain fields of technology. | ||
