Let's talk about technology.

For many of us, talk of #technology and people immediately jump to computers & electronics. That's technology. Everything else is. Well not.

As a society and culture, it's like we've forgotten that all other technological advancements that came before.

At it's core. Technology is about energy amplification. Taking an input of energy from the human, and magnifying it to get more energy out than went in.

That's all technology is.

Let's talk about this item.

We have an utterly fucked up idea of what counts as technology. Something that projects many of our biases including gender, and race.

To many these days it's only technology if it's electronic, and used by western men. But to take such a narrow definition is to ignore the amazing technology that surrounds us, and upon which our society is built. As such. It's time for a thread. I'm gonna talk about two different items you use every day, and the technology that goes into them.
