Well, there are many uses for technology. One of these, of course, is to simply provide a way to communicate with others. Another is to provide safety, such as the technology used to navigate aircraft. Another use of technology is to simply make life easier, and less manual. For example, a hundred years ago you would have to read a book to find out information on a topic. Now, you can just 'surf the net'. Technology also helps in companies, as it can store information that is easily editable and findable. The final use of technology is simply for entertainment, such as using your Ipod.
