Outline of technology
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to technology:
Technology all tools and procedures. It is the state of knowledge and development at any given time on
controlling our surroundings, and includes all tools (utensils, devices, machinery, inventions, and structures), all
methods (skills, processes, and techniques), and all applied materials (both raw and manufactured). In the most
general sense, technology is man's ability to control Nature.
