Technology can be defined as knowledge or information which tell us how an end can be achieved by the employment of combinations of various means.[1] Or more simply technology consists of ideas on how to produce things.[2] Technology should be distinguished from the physical form, such a produced good, which embodies the technological idea.[2]
