Technology (English)
Technology can be defined as the use of tools, techniques, crafts, systems or methods that solve practical problems and extend human capabilities. The word is of Greek origin; meaning the study of an "art, skill, or craft." Along with content on inventions, discoveries, and practice in the fields of technology and applied science, our collection touches on everything from age-old developments like ships and telescopes to cutting edge mobile, biotechnology, distance learning, and e-publication formats. Technology plays an important role in STEM education and is a priority for the Department of State, and can be used for EducationUSA advising.
