Technology is the collective term for the entire set of human activities that facilitate business activity. Technology is also called the science of technology. For example, the applications and inventions of science and technology are far reaching and complicated. A brief definition will not do it justice: technology is the total sum of any human methods, skills, systems, techniques, and practices utilized in the achievement of goals, for the creation of new products or services, or for the realization of existing objectives.

This broad classification is made possible by a group of theories that are interrelated, and are thus grouped into different concepts. These concepts include information technology, engineering technology, information management, cognitive science, computer science, and information technology. These concepts are analyzed to solve problems and produce new and better technologies. As a result of these theories and concepts, we can say that there are various types of technologies:

It is estimated that there are currently more than 1.5 billion people who use computers and are involved with e-business. In this regard, the demand for professionals who are knowledgeable in technology is continuously growing, especially since information technology itself is continuously changing and evolving. If we study technology carefully, then we will notice that even if the supply of technicians is constantly on the rise, the number of qualified technicians who are willing to work as consultants or specialists is decreasing. Therefore, to address this problem, an educational system that provides adequate technology education and training must be developed. Such an education and training system should consist of competent professionals from the relevant fields. In this regard, competent technology education and training should include appropriate technology concepts, including those that are consistent with the learning needs of students.

An effective teaching system can make use of a variety of technology fields, such as information science, cognitive science, engineering technology, information management, marketing, computer science, and so on. A wide-ranging approach to teaching technology also helps in making sure that the curriculum is appropriately structured because it helps avoid repetition. This aspect is particularly important for individuals who are planning to become industry leaders since such skills are required for such positions.

Broad patterns of technology include three universal attributes. First, there are those abstract universal attributes such as communication, business, and computing that are considered to be a part of the curriculum in any school. Such universal attributes include some of the most important components of the IT world including the Internet, information security, network services, desktop publishing, networking, desktop publishing capabilities, graphics, time, and many others. Then, there are specific universal attributes such as hardware, software, documentation, networking, and operational processes. Specific technology concepts, on the other hand, include principles of design, information systems, application methods, programming languages, software modeling and their applications, and testing.

These broad patterns and universal attributes can be identified and applied in a consistent manner, leading to the creation of efficient and accurate educational systems. Thus, the process of integrating cutting across these broad patterns and learning experiences helps in creating an environment that is easy to navigate and learn. Technology education therefore helps create a platform that helps students identify and learn different technologies from different perspectives. This helps them to become experts in their own fields of interest. Such efforts help create better employees and better workers.
