Technology

Technology doesn’t follow the same naming pattern as fields like biology or geology—and there’s a reason for that. While “bio” and “geo” come from Greek for life and Earth, “technology” has different roots. It comes from “techne,” meaning skill or craft, and “logia,” meaning study. So, unlike the natural sciences, technology is about the study of human-made tools, systems, and methods. This category explores the origins, uses, and meaning of technology—how we define it, how we use it, and how it shapes our world. From deep dives into etymology to practical reflections on digital life, we examine tech from all angles.
