Whats Technology all about??

Technology is a word that has got many abstract meanings in today's world. It sounds different to people from different domains. To a doctor it means something that enhances the way he handles his patients. To a poet its merely an element to sing about. To a teacher its something he has to keep learning on and on, because technology has no bounds on grounds of its development.

But, the unbelievable truth is that Engineers are the first people who get affected or benefitted by a wave called "Technology". Its their life that sees a round about change. First, whats this technology all about. To be precise, it is a tool by which an engineer enhances the life-style of common men or civilians. Its also the same cause for which science and inventions have strived for, all through the centuries.

Technology aims at easing the day to day activities of mankind. There is one important thing that every engineer needs to realise. Whenever he embarks on a new thinking that ultimately leads to a new idea, it must be based upon the central idea of helping the common people. It must aim to solve a major issue among the masses. Edison has once said that "I don't invent things that don't benefit the people ultimately", which literally means, he doesnt invent things that don't sell in the commercialmarket.

The IT majors all over the world do only this kind of job, identifying people problems and defining new solutions. Ofcourse, thinking out of the box, which means out of the ordinary is necessary to solve these problems, but doing so should not complicate the problem solving process itself. So, its high time the engineers realise that its for helping the common people for what they graduate and technology is one powerful tool in their hand. I wish every engineer follows this fine thread and keeps this world closely knitted through the concept of "Engineering".
