| | Technology (From Greek. techne — art, skill, ability and Greek. logia — study) is a set of methods and tools for achieving desired result; method of transformation of data into required format.
Technology - in broad sense - extent of knowledge, that can be used for manufacture of goods and services from economic resources. In narrow sense, technology is method of transformation of materials, energy, information into manufacturing process of products, processing and reprocessing of materials, assembly of finished items, quality assurance and management. Technology includes, in itself, methods, ways, operating modes, sequence of operations and procedures; it is closely connected with used facilities, equipment and tools used by materials.
Modern technologies are based on achievements of scientific and technical progress and focused on product manufacture: material technology creates a material product, information technology (IТ) — an informative product. Technology is also a scientific discipline, developing and improving the methods and tools of manufacture. In everyday life, it is accepted to name the description of production process, manuals for accomplishing the processes, technological requirements and so forth as technology. Production operations, transportation and reprocessing operations, which are basis for production processes, are often called technology or technological process. Technological inspection during the production is also part of technology. Technologists, engineers, designers, programmers and other experts in respective fields are engaged in development of technology.
Technology – according to United Nations methodology: - or technology in pure form, covering methods and techniques of production of goods and services (dissembled technology); - or embodied technology, covering cars, construction equipment, entire industrial systems and products with high technico-economic parameters (embodied technology).
High-end technology:
Latest and progressive technologies of present day belong to high technologies (English: high technology, hi-tech). Transition to use of high technologies and respective techniques is the major link of scientific and technical revolution (scientific and technical revolution) at present level. Most high-end branches of industries belong to high technologies: microelectronics, computers, robotics, atomic power engineering, aeronautical engineering, space technology, microbiological industry.
Information technology:
Information technologies (IТ, English information technology, IT) —wide class of disciplines and spheres of activity, concerning to management technologies and information processing. Basically, computer technologies are understood under information technology. In particular, IT deals with usage of computers and software for storing, conversion, protection, processing, transmission and obtaining information. For this reason, experts in computers are often called IT specialists.
