The term "technology" is a combination of two Greek words: "techno" - skill, ability, and "logos" - a way, technique, thought. In general, this is a set of methods and methods that use any knowledge, materials, skills that are used to create a product. And it doesn't matter if this product is tangible or intangible. The first category includes everything that you can touch with your hands: equipment, food, building materials, and so on. The second group includes intangible things. For example, television broadcast, Internet, telephone communication and so on.
Now you understand in which areas this term is most often used. Although it must be said that this word has now begun to replace other traditional words. For example, we stopped saying “cooking recipe”, more and more often using “cooking technology”. And this is not surprising, modern terms quickly take root, changing their true content.
Every student comes across the word technology when they go to a lesson with the same name. What do they teach there? In fact, these are the same works that were in the school curriculum, where children learned how to work with certain tools or devices. Usually the boys were trained in turning or woodworking. The girls learned to sew and cut, learned the art of cooking. And today, all this is present at technology lessons, it’s just that theoretical knowledge has been added to practical skills, which the teacher presents in the form of an overview lecture.
Information Technology
This is the phrase we hear today. ? This is a set of processes associated with the storage, processing, protection, transmission and receipt of the necessary information. And for all this, computers and other modern devices are used. IN modern world this is the most necessary technology, which is very popular with a huge number of people. And if we encounter production technologies as needed (in the process of work and so on), then we deal with information technologies every day.
Technology life cycle
Like any process, like any product, technology has a life of its own. It appears (someone invents it), it changes (some additions, innovations are made to it, elements that have not justified themselves and are economically unprofitable are removed) and, in the end, dies, making room for new technologies that are more efficient. Although we must pay tribute to some that still exist. For example, the technology of baking bread, grinding grain into flour, making ceramics, making iron. These are eternal technological processes that have changed slightly since their inception.
Flour production technology cycle
I would like to use the example of the production of flour, the most important product on earth, to show how the technological process takes place. We will not touch on the technology of growing wheat here, let's start right away with the fact that the grain goes to the mill. Let's make a reservation that we will talk about modern production.
- Grain from the fields goes to the storage, which is called the elevator. Here it is partially cleared of pebbles, dirt and dust.
- From the elevator, the grain is fed to the mill. Here it is ground and sieved, divided into flour, semolina and bran.
- Further, the flour enters the storage, where it is packaged in paper bags or taken out by special flour trucks to bakeries where bakery products are baked.
Any production technology is divided into cycles (stages, stages, processes), this is its essence, its basis. Very often, different technologies use a large number of ingredients, some of which are basic, others are additional.
The activities of individuals and organizations now increasingly depend on the knowledge they have, one of the most valuable resources of modern society, and the ability to use it effectively. However, the means intended for the representation of knowledge are still quite imperfect and often force people to look for solutions to the same problems again and again.
To optimize the search for the necessary information, all kinds of online services are being created today. So, on the basis of Wiki-technology in 2001, Wales and Sanger opened the site "Wikipedia". Wikipedia is a multilingual, public, freely distributed encyclopedia published on the Internet. This "public" encyclopedia is a prime example of the rapid growth and accumulation of knowledge in the distributed environment of the Internet. It is created by the collective work of volunteer authors using Wiki technology.
Before Wikipedia on the Internet, many ways of group communication were invented: chat, web forum, blog. These technologies allow you to exchange information and organize it in some way, but none of them allows you to create a full-fledged, dynamically updated site. Wikipedia currently has 253 language sections.
The Ukrainian part of Wikipedia currently consists of over 70 thousand articles, and the Russian part - over 250 thousand. Their growth rates are among the highest (1000 articles per month). Obviously, not all Ukrainian and Russian-speaking Internet users know about Wikipedia, but given how many scientists and students are among these users, we can expect a significant increase in the rate of filling these resources.
During its development, the Wikipedia project, despite the fears associated with the unprofessionalism of the authors, possible vandalism, and the spontaneity of creating individual articles, made it possible to create a fairly high-quality product - a complete and objective, freely accessible multilingual encyclopedia. The success of Wikipedia has demonstrated that Internet users need reliable encyclopedic information. Therefore, the project of the online encyclopedia is already today a serious source of reference information, knowledge, which, unlike traditional sources, has a remarkable feature - efficiency.
The success of Wikipedia has spawned a wide variety of other essential projects that operate on similar principles and serve to create other kinds of educational and reference publications.
Wiki technology and its main characteristics
Wiki is a technology for building a website that allows users to actively participate in the process of editing its content through a web interface - fixing errors, adding new materials. Wiki technology does not require the use of special programs, registration on the server and knowledge of HTML. The term Wiki is also used to refer to software that is developed to create such sites.
The information provided in the Wiki has a non-linear navigational structure. Each page usually contains a large number of hyperlinks to other pages. The first wiki, WikiWikiWeb, was developed in 1994 and first appeared on the Internet in 1995. The first Wiki site was the Portland Sample Repository, created by Ward Cunningham, where code snippets were collected. The largest and most famous Wiki site is Wikipedia. Today, Wiki technology is used to create directories, knowledge bases, and documentation development. Modern Wiki engines allow you to work not only with texts, but also with spreadsheets, calendars, image galleries, files, etc. Map services can also be built according to the Wiki principle. There have been developments of Wiki applications for corporate environments (eg Confluence, Jot, Near-Time).
Wiki is designed to solve a simple and natural task - to enable each visitor to participate in the development of content. Participate not only as a commentator, but also as a full-fledged author and editor - on a par with the administration and staff members of the project. This requires two things: firstly, the user must have the technical ability to make changes to the pages of the site, and secondly, this process should not require special knowledge and skills.
The Wiki technology allows accumulating the knowledge of mankind, presenting it in an electronic interoperable form, providing navigation through this knowledge base and means of updating it. At the same time, communities of various sizes and thematic focus can use Wiki, creating knowledge bases from global Wikipedias and electronic encyclopedias of large corporations to easily updated reference systems of small organizations, enterprises and educational institutions. Wiki is a fairly complex system for collecting and structuring information. Its main characteristics are:
- Support for multi-user work is provided;
there is the possibility of multiple editing of any text using the Wiki-environment (website);
- the appearance of changes immediately after their introduction;
- each Wiki article has its own unique name;
- the language of this markup is quite simple and does not require special knowledge;
- It is possible to revert to a previous version.
Compared to CMS (Content Management Systems), Wiki technology has the following differences:
— The title of the article is also a hyperlink to external systems.
- Articles are created and edited almost at any time by any user.
- Articles available for editing are located directly in the web browser.
- Each article provides access to view and edit the chronology / versions of the page, which supports the search for existing discrepancies.
- Each article grants the user access to that article's talk page.
Wiki assumes broader user rights when editing content, lack of hierarchy and freer access to information. In addition, Wiki-enabled pages provide interoperability and knowledge reuse.
Wiki engines
Wiki engines are software used to create Wiki sites. A Wiki engine is a set of programs that converts Wiki markup into a human-readable HTML representation.
MediaWiki is a software engine for creating websites based on Wiki technology, developed specifically for Wikipedia by a German student M. Manske. It is one of the most powerful Wiki engines, written specifically for Wikipedia and used in many other Wikimedia projects. MediaWiki is written in PHP and uses a relational database in its work (you can use MySQL, PostgreSQL); supports memcached and Squid programs.
MediaWiki provides an interface for working with the page database, differentiation of access rights to system administration, as well as the following features:
— process text both in native format and in HTML and TeX formats (for formulas)
- upload images or other files, etc.
A flexible extension system allows users to add their own features and programming interfaces. Further versions of MediaWiki continue to be developed. For example, among the new features present in the experimental version of MediaWiki are PostgreSQL support and a system for approving completed and verified articles. Version 1.7.0 removed support for Oracle due to the lack of movement in the development of this direction.
There are many Wiki-engines with their own characteristics and advantages. In the table on p. 59 provides an overview of modern Wiki engines. The choice of a Wiki engine depends on what set of features and capabilities is required (version control, access restrictions, RSS feeds with information about page changes, subscription to changes to specific pages, etc.), on which platform it will be based and how all this will work, etc. First of all, you need to determine what will be used: a Wiki on your own server or a Wiki service provided by an external organization. For creating online encyclopedias, many people recommend MediaWiki. WackoWiki, Confluence and NPJ are often used to form knowledge bases. For personal use, use WikidPad or deskDo. Using Wiki-technologies in the absence of the Internet allows TiddlyWiki and deskDo.
How to create articles for Wikipedia
There is a 90-9-1 theory that estimates the percentage of Wiki users, dividing them into three groups: 1) readers - 90%; 2) those who occasionally contribute in some way, 9% and 3) those who actively work on filling the content of the Wiki - only 1%. Most of the work is done by 1% of users, but it is also useful for the rest to know how they can join this group.
The openness of the technology did not lead, as many feared, to the destruction and damage of materials: the Wiki saves all the changes that have occurred to all articles since their creation, so at any time you can compare different versions of the same article, correct the page again, or simply return To old version. Thus, repairing the damage done is easier than causing it. In addition, administrators always have the opportunity to block changes to individual pages (in particular, the most controversial ones).
Wiki pages are articles whose content is plain text, where you can use HTML tags or special Wiki markup that is more suitable for text documents than HTML. Using a link or button, any visitor to the Wiki site can edit and save a modified version of the text of any existing page or create a new one. The procedure for publishing text on Wikipedia is reduced to two buttons - "Edit" and "Save".
The rules for creating Wikipedia articles, aimed at creating high-quality texts, are quite simple, but several conditions must be met:
2. When writing any article, one should strive for a neutral presentation and reflect all known points of view.
3. It is necessary to indicate the sources of information to confirm the reliability of the information.
There are two kinds of articles that do not comply with the neutrality policy: articles that clearly conflict with the requirements of neutrality and articles that do not describe all opinions or are not detailed enough. In the first case, the article should be marked as biased (((POV))). The non-neutral part of the information of such an article is subject to correction or deletion. In the second case, the article should only be considered incomplete, no matter how impartial and detailed the information already available in it may be.
A certain part of Wikipedia articles is automatically created "blanks". There are three types of links on Wikipedia - to existing articles, to articles not yet written, and to external web resources. In order to create a hyperlink to an article, it is enough to enclose the name of the article to which you want to link in double square brackets - [[Article name]] when making Wiki markup. If the article to which the link points does not exist, then the link will still be created, but its text will be red instead of the usual blue. By activating this link, you can go to the article template and write it, actually correcting the template.
When any author marks a term or phrase in the text as a link to a non-existent article, Wikipedia automatically generates a new template article containing the text: "The article has not been written yet, you can write it." The authors who access this link expand the content of the "dummy".
Almost any page on a Wiki site can be edited. In order to make changes to the article, you must:
- make the desired changes to the text of the article;
- for the purpose of control, view the list of changes made (button "Changes made");
- make sure that the edits are correct by viewing the text of the article in advance (the "Preview" button);
- fill in the "Briefly describe the essence of your edit" field and click the "Save page" button.
Wikipedia search
Today there are many national Wikipedias and projects. Search this set information resources manually is quite laborious. Qwika is a search engine for wikis. Its task is to cover all major Wikipedias in all fairly common languages, translate them and provide a quick search. The system currently indexes the following resources:
- English-language Wikipedia and all namespaces in its composition (Chat, Image, User, etc.).
- English-language Wikipedias (machine translation of popular Wikipedias in other languages).
- Wikipedia in other languages.
— Tourism project WikiTravel.
- Cached versions of all pages in both the original language and machine translation.l

technology
TECHNOLOGY (from the Greek techne - art, craftsmanship, skill and ... ology) a set of methods for processing, manufacturing, changing the state, properties, form of raw materials, material or semi-finished products carried out in the production process; a scientific discipline that studies physical, chemical, mechanical, and other regularities that operate in technological processes. Technology is also called the operations of extraction, processing, transportation, storage, control, which are part of the overall production process.
Technology
(from the Greek téchne ≈ art, skill, skill and ... ology), a set of techniques and methods for obtaining, processing or processing raw materials, materials, semi-finished products or products carried out in various industries, in construction, etc .; a scientific discipline that develops and improves such techniques and methods. T. (or technological processes) are also called the operations of extraction, processing, processing, transportation, warehousing, storage, which are the main component of the production process. Modern technology also includes technical control of production. It is customary to also refer to a description of production processes, instructions for their implementation, technological rules, requirements, maps, schedules, etc.
Technology is usually considered in connection with a specific branch of production (the technology of mining, the technology of mechanical engineering, and the technology of construction) or depending on the methods of obtaining or processing certain materials (the technology of metals, the technology of fibrous substances, the technology of fabrics, etc.). ). As a result of the implementation of technological processes, a qualitative change occurs in the processed objects. Thus, the method of obtaining various metals is based on a change in the chemical composition and chemical and physical properties of the feedstock; T. machining is associated with a change in the shape and some physical properties of the workpieces; chemical thermodynamics is based on processes carried out as a result of chemical reactions and leading to changes in the composition, structure, and properties of the initial products. The most important indicators characterizing the technical and economic efficiency of the technological process are: specific consumption of raw materials, semi-finished products and energy per unit of output; yield (quantity) and quality of finished products (products); the level of labor productivity; the intensity of the process; production costs; production cost.
The task of technology as a science is to identify physical, chemical, mechanical, and other regularities in order to determine and put into practice the most efficient and economical production processes that require the least expenditure of time and material resources. Thus, the subject of research and development in mechanical engineering is the fundamentals of designing technological processes (types of processing, selection of workpieces, surface quality of workpieces, machining accuracy and allowances for it, basing of workpieces), methods of machining surfaces (flat, shaped, etc.) , methods for manufacturing typical parts (cases, shafts, gears, etc.), assembly processes (the nature of the connection of parts and assemblies, the principles of mechanization and automation of assembly work), the basics of designing fixtures.
The technology of various industries is constantly updated and changed as technology develops. The improvement of technology in all branches and types of production is an important condition for accelerating technical progress in the national economy. The main directions in the development of modern technology are: the transition from discontinuous (discrete, cyclic) technological processes to continuous in-line processes, which ensure an increase in the scale of production and the efficient use of machinery and equipment; the introduction of "closed" (non-waste) heating for the fullest use of raw materials, materials, energy, and fuel, which makes it possible to minimize or completely eliminate production waste and to carry out measures to improve the environment. Of particular importance is the improvement of the technology of the extractive industries in order to increase the efficiency of the extraction of minerals, their enrichment and processing, to eliminate the harmful consequences of the exploitation of the subsoil for the environment, and to ensure the comprehensive use of minerals in the national economy (see Nature Conservation).
In the manufacturing industries of the USSR, especially in mechanical engineering and instrument making, the Unified System for Technological Preparation of Production (USTPP) has been introduced since 1975. It provides for a unified procedure for the development of technological documentation and the use of standard technological processes, unified equipment and standard equipment. Implementation of the ECTS allows to reduce the time for preparation of production by 2-2.5 times, while at the same time increasing labor productivity and improving the quality of products.
In order to unify technological means, methods, and terminology, the USSR developed and, since 1975, put into effect as a state standard the Unified System of Technological Documentation (ESTD) (see Technological Documentation). See also Technology of metals, Chemical technology.

Wikipedia
Technology
Technology(from - art, skill, skill; - "word", "thought", "meaning", "concept") - a set of methods and tools to achieve the desired result; in a broad sense - the application of scientific knowledge to solve practical problems.
Technology (group)
"Technology"- Russian synth-pop group from Moscow, known for the songs "Press the Button" and "Strange Dances". The peak of the group's popularity came in 1991-1993. It has existed in various compositions from 1990 to the present time. To create music, the group uses electronic musical instruments - synthesizers, samplers and modern computer technology.
Technology (Obninsk research and production enterprise)
Joint-Stock Company "Obninsk Research and Production Enterprise "Technology" named after. A.G. Romashina»- one of the leading Russian state research and production enterprises in the field of production of non-metallic polymer, composite and ceramic materials for the needs of the rocket and space and aviation industries, water transport, energy and other industries. Over 800 new materials have been created during the operation of the enterprise. It is part of the state corporation "Rostec".
Located in the city of Obninsk, Kaluga region.
These inventions deserve not only our attention, but also success on the world stage. After all, these technologies can drastically change our way of life. The good news is that you won't have to wait for years because they're already here and ready to use!
15. Glowing plants
For a long time, scientists have been looking for cheaper and more efficient methods of artificial lighting. Finally, they were successful. They managed to create several types of plants that emit light in the dark. Such plants can be used in an urban environment to cut down on electricity bills. Not to mention the fact that a few plants do not hurt the stone jungle.14. Vertical farms
To ensure that humanity will always be provided with healthy and fresh food, scientists and farmers have teamed up and created an innovative farming method. It differs from the traditional one in that the plants are grown indoors, while the emphasis is on saving space. Thanks to this method, people in cities will be able to grow their own food or buy fresh food in stores at any time of the year.13. Internet from a balloon
About four billion people in the world still do not have access to the Internet. Large Internet companies regularly come up with new ways to make the Internet available in all corners of the Earth. So the idea came up to launch balloons into the atmosphere that would “deliver” the Internet to hard-to-reach areas. Such a project will help residents of developing countries to become better acquainted with the outside world and find better-paid jobs.12. Biotechnology
Biotechnology is a branch of science that seeks to combine technology and living organisms for beneficial purposes. Healthy foods range from food, including cheese, yogurt, and kefir, to drugs and biological sensors. Biotechnology continues to improve and offer new solutions. At the moment, the idea of crops that are drought tolerant and contain more vitamins is popular in biotechnology.11. Virtual Reality
Due to the popularity of video games, game companies are constantly developing more and more sophisticated ways to give the player an unforgettable experience. Their main goal is to make us feel that we are living in the game, and not sitting at home in front of the monitor. To achieve this effect, various companies produce a variety of products for immersion in virtual reality. One of the most interesting options is the mask, which during the game allows you to even feel the aromas of the wilderness.10 Test Tube Meat
Many people stop eating meat because they don't want to harm animals. To their delight, scientists have come up with a method that allows you to create meat in the laboratory. Not only does this cut off the resources and energy that are spent on raising the animal, this meat is healthier and tastes no different from the real one. Not to mention how much space will be freed up on the planet when livestock farms disappear.9 Exoskeletons
Of course, we are still far from the Iron Man suit, but the first steps have already been taken - exoskeletons are no longer a fantasy, but a real reality. They return to people with spinal injuries the ability to walk and enjoy life to the fullest. Over time, these primitive exoskeletons will only get better - easier to use, more convenient and cheaper.8. Devices controlled by the power of thought
If you constantly forget where you put your smartphone, this news will appeal to you. Scientists have developed a method that allows you to control devices with the power of thought. This technology was first tested on people who have lost their mobility. It was so successful that as early as 2004 people were playing ping-pong with the power of their minds. Such technology will definitely make our lives easier, not to mention what possibilities it opens up for the video games of the future.7. Superfast transport
The world is constantly expanding, and more and more often we feel the need to be in two places at the same time. Therefore, humanity is constantly looking for ways to move faster. One of the best examples of new technologies in this area is Elon Musk's hyperloop. It promises to be so fast that the six-hour journey from Los Angeles to San Francisco will be covered in thirty minutes. And this is not the only such project under development.6. Changing the genome
As more and more people are being born with genes that make life difficult for them and increase their risk of mortality, geneticists have created technologies that allow you to "cut out" harmful genes, add new ones, and "turn on and off" existing ones. And this is not just a way to make people healthy - this technology can help people who, for example, have always dreamed of being athletes, but lack the necessary genes. Of course, such a procedure is not 100% guaranteed and people will still have to work hard to master the desired skills.5. Modern desalination
Although people have long learned how to obtain drinking water using desalination, the old methods are too laborious and not effective enough. Now humanity has a deeper understanding of physics and chemistry, and scientists have created more efficient ways to desalinate water. Now it can be done not only faster and cheaper, but also with additional benefits. Among them are free minerals. Yes, the water is full of them, and desalinated water can be a cheap source of minerals needed for production. Plus, billions of tons of desalinated water can drink the entire planet.4. Real tricorder
If you're a sci-fi fan, you're probably familiar with this device from Star Trek. It was his characters in the series that were used to measure medical indicators. The real version of this device can measure blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, pulse, temperature, respiration, and also diagnose 12 diseases, including chickenpox and HIV.3. Drones in agriculture
More and more farmers are asking for help modern technologies. Drones have become one of these assistants. Although outwardly they resemble those used in the army and film production, their functionality is very different. Their main task is to take infrared images that allow farmers to determine where the seeds germinate successfully and where the problems begin. Some companies are creating agricultural drones that can destroy harmful insects, mold and other things that are unpleasant for the crop.2. Super materials
With a deeper understanding of chemistry, we have learned how to create new, amazing materials. These include graphene, a material that consists of only one layer of carbon atoms. Due to this thickness, it is easily stretched, has high thermal conductivity and at the same time it is 200 times stronger than steel. Graphene can be used to create... anything. Graphene will make armored vehicles, clothes, computers and many other things much better and much more durable.1. 4D printers
You must have heard of 3D printers. But you hardly know about the existence of 4D printers. Both perform the same task - printing materials or special items - but 4D creates objects that are able to change under external influence. The fact is that living conditions are constantly changing, and what we needed yesterday may no longer be needed in a year. To avoid creating things that will only last a short time, researchers have created printers and materials that are amazingly adaptable to all types of environmental changes, damage, and other potential hazards.Scientists divide technologies into types:
· Practical technology is a set of processes and operations worked out by experience to create a certain type of use value. This technology can be presented, depicted, described, etc.
· Scientific technology studies and summarizes the experience of creating consumer values. The subject of its study: the processes of interaction of means of labor, objects of labor and the environment in the creation of the whole variety of consumer values.
· Theoretical technology studies the dialectics of technology and the possibility of using the laws of development of nature and society to transform the material and spiritual world of man. The subject of the research is the processes of development of the cognitive and transforming activity of a person.
The diversity of practical technologies in modern society has led to the need to classify them. The commonality of technologies according to various principles makes it possible to simplify the economic evaluation of probable innovations. The most common technology classifications were made by Joanne Woodward and Jameson Thompson.
Classification of technologies according to Woodward (Joanne Woodward - British researcher in the field of management):
1. Single small-scale or individual production, i.e., when only one or small series of products are manufactured at the same time. These technologies include the production of large aircraft, ships, high-performance computers, equipment for the space and nuclear industries, as well as individual orders (special cars, clothes, perfumes, etc.)
2. Mass or large-scale production is used in the manufacture of a large number of products that are identical to each other. Characterized by mechanization and the use of standard parts and conveyors. These are, first of all, products of everyday use, such as: clothing, food, electronics, cars, etc.
3. Continuous production uses automated equipment that operates around the clock to continuously produce products of the same characteristics in large volumes. Energy, petrochemical industry, food industry, etc. use such technologies.
The disadvantage of J. Woodward's classification is the complete absence of the service sector. The classification of technologies according to Thompson takes into account this shortcoming. James Thompson was a sociologist and organizational theorist who distinguished the following division of technologies:
1. Multilink technology is characterized by a series of interdependent tasks. These include all mass production assembly lines.
2. Intermediary technology. Characterized by the meetings of groups of people, such as clients or buyers, who are or want to be interdependent. Most service organizations use this technology.
3. Intensive technologies. Characterized by the use of special techniques, skills or services to produce certain changes in a particular material. Most resource processing enterprises, such as mining and processing plants, as well as repair shops, use intensive technologies.
It should be noted that the role of a person in the production of products is different, therefore, the most in a simple way Classification of technology by involving human labor can be divided into:
Manual (completely human labor);
Mechanized (mechanization of heavy physical labor)
Automated (partial participation of a person, most often for manipulating equipment);
Automatic (without any human intervention during production).
