Technology is the application of conceptual knowledge for achieving practical goals, especially in a reproducible way. The word technology can also mean the products resulting from such efforts, including both tangible tools such as utensils or machines, and intangible ones such as software. Technology plays a critical role in science, engineering, and everyday life.
Technology has advanced rapidly since the creation and subsequent enforcement of the knowledge and research provided by the very powerful and prestigious University of Bologna sometime in 1088 AD thanks to increased stability and unity, for better or for worse depending on one's perspective. Here's a currently unfinished table below that illustrates this:
