"Technology" is one of those words where your bullshit detectors should perk up whenever you hear it.

It's so broad but is often used to talk about something really specific (mobile internet, or social media, or W3C standards, or a particular small group of struggling small businesses in southern california, or taxi services, or labor law evasion), so it's used to apply generalizations to large groups of things that have nothing in common except accidents of history.

@enkiv2 I had a history of science class on my undergrad and the biggest take away from it was that the word 'technology' really is about as vague and hard to nail down as the word 'magic'.
