THE TECH INDUSTRY EXPLAINED
What is tech? Think back to every movie you’ve ever watched that was set in the future. One thing they generally have in common is the role of technology in creating that particular alternate universe. Flying cars zoom the skies, super-computers manipulate events, and robots become so lifelike it’s impossible to tell the difference. The list goes on! The sheer potential of technology is of such fascination that it’s unsurprising when you think about how far it’s already brought us. Humans have been using technology long before we even had a word for it.
We were using technology the moment we started fashioning tools to accomplish a task better than we could on our own. Essentially, that is what “technology” is – the knowledge and application of certain methodologies and skills in the creation of products and services that fulfil specific needs. One word that often goes hand-in-hand with technology is ‘invention’. Technology by its very nature is inventive – either improving on what currently exists or creating something never seen before to address a problem or issue.
