Topic about technology

The first technological tools appeared in the 17th century by inventing machines as a result of the changes that took place in the industrial revolution in the field of production and development, but this technology developed very quickly. At each stage of its development, researchers looked at the possibilities and strengths of that period and applied technology to them, so that they introduced them into all areas of life. Success and development at last.

Types of Technology

The entry of technology into an area in which to change and cause its technological development means the existence of a new type of technology, and it symbolizes all technologies, tools, transportation and other skills invented by humans and used in facilitating life, the most prominent of which are:

Biotechnology is the type of technology that uses biological systems and organisms to create and develop something. One of the simplest examples is the use of yeast, which is considered a living organism in the production of bread. It is also involved in the modification of biological systems of genetic material (DNA) for living organisms. This technology is concerned in many laboratory and medical sciences, biochemistry, genetic engineering and genes, through the production of medicines and treatments in line with diseases affecting organisms. Chemicals and food.

Medical Technology

Medical Technology is all technologies and services aimed at saving human life and developing devices that are beneficial to human health, the most important examples of which are: ultrasound examination devices, fetal health screening in the womb, magnetic resonance imaging to detect diseases, medical care for the patient during surgeries, human health monitoring devices and changes, diagnosis of various diseases, treatment and care for the patient and prevention of diseases that are difficult to treat late and early detection.

Nuclear technology

Nuclear Technology is a technology that develops electricity production using nuclear energy, which is classified as healthy for the environment and sustainable, and enters into the field of improving food production and sustainable agriculture, reproduction by plant mutations that are done by exposing plant seeds or stems to rays such as gamma rays and then creating mutations to produce a plant with certain qualities, in addition to attempts to eliminate pesticides by raising large numbers of insects and then making them sterile with radiation, and releasing them to mate with ordinary insects but without reproduction.

Definition of Technology

Technology and its changes are one of the most important manifestations affecting human life, including sciences, history and the human lifestyle. Changes in the way of life we live have been linked to the technological boom and have come to touch with the most human-related things such as the development of food production, the revolution in the civil lifestyle and the subsequent industrial revolution. [1]

If we want to define technology in its comprehensive and broad sense, we find that it includes everything related to practical aspects, from fishing, agriculture, livestock farming, mining and construction industries and other diverse crafts until we end with the fields of communications, medicine and military technologies, it represents the spirit of skills, knowledge and implementation mechanisms to produce what is beneficial to humanity. [1]

When did technology come about?

The first technological tools appeared in the 17th century by inventing machines as a result of the changes that took place in the industrial revolution in the field of production and development, but this technology developed very quickly. At each stage of its development, researchers looked at the possibilities and strengths of that period and applied technology to them, so that they introduced them into all areas of life. Success and development at last.[2]

Types of Technology

The introduction of technology into an area where change and technological development means the existence of a new type of technology, and it symbolizes all technologies, tools, transportation and other skills invented by humans and used in facilitating life, the most prominent of which are:[3]

Biotechnology

Biotechnology is the type of technology that uses biological systems and organisms to create and develop something. One of the simplest examples is the use of yeast, which is considered a living organism in the production of bread. It is also involved in the modification of biological systems of genetic material (DNA) for living organisms. This technology is concerned in many laboratory and medical sciences, biochemistry, genetic engineering and genes, through the production of medicines and treatments in line with diseases affecting organisms. Chemicals and food.[4]

Medical Technology

Medical Technology is all technologies and services aimed at saving human life and developing devices that are beneficial to human health, the most important examples of which are: ultrasound examination devices, fetal health screening in the womb, magnetic resonance imaging to detect diseases, medical care for the patient during surgeries, human health monitoring devices and changes, diagnosis of various diseases, treatment and care for the patient and prevention of diseases that are difficult to treat late and early detection. [5]

Nuclear technology

Nuclear Technology is a technology that develops electricity production using nuclear energy, which is classified as healthy for the environment and sustainable, and enters into improving food production and sustainable agriculture, reproduction by plant mutations that are done by exposing plant seeds or stems to rays such as gamma rays and then creating mutations to produce a plant with certain qualities, in addition to attempts to eliminate pesticides by raising large numbers of insects and then making them sterile with radiation, and releasing them to mate with ordinary insects but without reproduction. [6]

Information Technology

Information Technology is all the tools and technologies used in building communication networks, protecting data and information, and creating and controlling large databases, such as phones, computers, networking devices, and other devices that have become an essential part of the work of companies, as they enter into controlling machines and production robots in factories, and storing data and information for employees and products on computers. [7]

Communication Technology

Communication Technologies is an IT term, but includes means of communication between devices and technologies that retain information, such as the Internet, wireless networks, software, video conferencing, social networking sites and applications. This technology is concerned with all means that allow the exchange and transfer of information between these devices, through digital processing, and this technology is used in many fields, such as e-agriculture, information technology development and communication in the agricultural field. [8]

Education Technology

Technology in Education is all technologies used in schools and universities to enhance learning and communicate information to students easily, which contributes to the development of the educational process and improve learning tools, such as the distance learning process using computers and the Internet, which uses technologies, educational platforms and programs that identify students with their strengths and weaknesses and try to focus on them. [9]
