BAHASA INGGRIS
Teknologi adalah keseluruhan sarana untuk menyediakan barang-barang yang
diperlukan bagi kelangsungan dan kenyamanan hidup manusia.
Penggunaan teknologi oleh manusia diawali dengan
pengubahan sumber daya alam menjadi alat-alat sederhana. Penemuan prasejarah tentang kemampuan mengendalikan api telah menaikkan ketersediaan sumber-sumber pangan, sedangkan penciptaan
roda telah membantu manusia dalam beperjalanan dan
mengendalikan lingkungan mereka. Perkembangan teknologi terbaru, termasuk di
antaranya mesin cetak, telepon, dan Internet, telah memperkecil hambatan fisik
terhadap komunikasi dan memungkinkan manusia untuk
berinteraksi secara bebas dalam skala global. Tetapi, tidak semua teknologi
digunakan untuk tujuan damai; pengembangan senjata penghancur yang semakin hebat telah
berlangsung sepanjang sejarah, dari pentungan sampai senjata nuklir.
Teknologi telah memengaruhi masyarakat dan sekelilingnya dalam banyak cara.
Di banyak kelompok masyarakat, teknologi telah membantu memperbaiki ekonomi (termasuk ekonomi global masa kini) dan telah memungkinkan bertambahnya kaum senggang. Banyak proses teknologi menghasilkan produk sampingan yang tidak
dikehendaki, yang disebut pencemar, dan menguras sumber daya alam,
merugikan dan merusak Bumi dan lingkungannya. Berbagai macam penerapan teknologi
telah memengaruhi nilai suatu masyarakat dan teknologi baru
seringkali mencuatkan pertanyaan-pertanyaan etika baru. Sebagai contoh,
meluasnya gagasan tentang efisiensi dalam konteks produktivitas manusia,
suatu istilah yang pada awalnynya hanya menyangku permesinan, contoh lainnya
adalah tantangan norma-norma tradisional.
Keadaan ini membahayakan lingkungan dan mengucilkan
manusia; penyokong paham-paham seperti transhumanisme dan tekno-progresivisme memandang proses teknologi yang berkelanjutan sebagai
hal yang menguntungkan bagi masyarakat dan kondisi manusia. Tentu saja, paling
sedikit hingga saat ini, diyakini bahwa pengembangan teknologi hanya terbatas
bagi umat manusia, tetapi kajian-kajian ilmiah terbaru mengisyaratkan bahwa primata lainnya dan komunitas lumba-lumba tertentu telah mengembangkan
alat-alat sederhana dan belajar untuk mewariskan pengetahuan mereka kepada
keturunan mereka.
Technological
Technological
is a means to
provide the overall goods necessary for the survival and comfort of human life.
The use of technological by humans begins with the conversion of natural resources into simple tools. Prehistoric discoveries about the power of fire has increased the availability of food sources, while the creation of the wheel helped humans in beperjalanan and control their environment. Recent technological developments, including the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet, has zoomed physical barriers to communication and allowed humans to interact freely on a global scale. However, not all technology used for peaceful purposes; the development of weapons of increasingly intense has been going on throughout history, from clubs to nuclear weapons.
Technological has affected society and its surroundings in many ways. In many societies, technological has helped improve economies (including today's global economy) and has allowed the increase in leisure. Many technological processes produce unwanted by-products, called contaminants, and deplete natural resources, to the detriment and damage the Earth and its environment. Various kinds of application of technology has affected the value of a society and new technological often raises new ethical questions. For instance, the widespread notion of efficiency in terms of human productivity, a term which in only machining, another example is the challenge of traditional norms.

That this is harmful to the environment and human isolate; advocate ideologies such as transhumanism and techno-progressivism view the process of sustainable technologies as being beneficial to the society and the human condition. Of course, at least until recently, it was believed that the development of technology is limited only to mankind, but recent scientific studies suggesting that other primates and certain dolphin communities have developed simple tools and learned to pass their knowledge to their offspring
