[Gr. ? an art + -logy; cf Gr ? systematic treatment: cf F. technologie.] Industrial science; the science of systematic knowledge of the industrial arts, especially of the more important manufactures, as spinning, weaving, metallurgy, etc Note: Technology is not an independent science, having a set of doctrines of its own but consists of applications of the principles established in the various physical sciences (chemistry, mechanics, mineralogy, etc.) to manufacturing processes. --Internat. Cyc. From WordNet r 1.6 [wn]: technology n 1: the practical application of science to commerce or industry [syn: {engineering}] 2: the discipline dealing with the art or science of applying scientific knowledge to practical problems; "he had trouble deciding which branch of engineering to study" [syn: {engineering}, {engineering science}, {applied science}] From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (13 Mar 01) [foldoc]: technology{Markeroid} jargon for "{software}", "{hardware}", "{protocol}" or something else too technical to name The most flagrant abuse of this word has to be "{Windows NT}" (New Technology) - {Microsoft}'s attempt to make the incorporation of some ancient concepts into their OS sound like real progress.
