Technology is human made processes and products that extend human potential and satisfy human needs. There are three areas of technology: physical, information/communication, and bio-related. Physical technology are things such as construction and transportation, things that involve physical work/needs. Information/communication technology normally encompasses what everyday people think of as technology, including media sites and cell phones. This kind of technology deals with sending and receiving information, whether it is from human to human, machine to human, or machine to machine. Bio-related technology is related to living things. The bio-related technologies include prosthetic, cloning, and environmental protection aspects. There are two systems of technology; open and closed systems. An open system takes into account the outside needs and allows for feedback whereas the closed systems think that everything will work perfectly without any error. Open systems are more generally used now. The resources of technology are tools, machines, processes, materials, people, capital, energy, time, and information.

1. Identify the problem
2. Set Goals
3. Research
4. Create ideas
5. Select the best idea
6. Implement/build
7. Test
8. Feedback
