The Technology

Technology is one characteristic that defines the human essence that is part of the history covers the entire history. Technology, according to Djoyohadikusumo (1994, 222) closely associated with science (science) and perekayasaan (engineering). In other words, the technology contains two dimensions, namely the science and engineering related to each other. Science based on our understanding of the real world around us, it means the basic characteristics on the dimensions of space, about the materials and energy in the interaction of the other one.

Definition of science according to Sardar (1987, 161) is a means of solving each of the civilization. Without science, information Sardar (1987, 161) a civilization can not maintain political structures and social or meet the basic needs of the people and culture. As an external manifestation of epistemology, environmental science establish the physical, intellectual and cultural as well as how to promote the economical production of the selected by a civilization. In short, science, clearly Sardar (1987, 161) is at the end of the print of a civilization, he is a physical expression of world views. Meanwhile, engineering, according to Djoyohadikusumo (1994, 222) concerning the objectives of knowledge (about the space, materials, energy) that is applied in the field of design (including the technical equipment). In other words, the technology includes techniques and equipment to carry out the design based on the results of science.

Separation is often held, and even conflict between science and scientific research that is fundamental (basic science and fundamental) in one hand and the other in applied science and applied research (applied science and applied research). However, one other fact should be seen as two lines that are complementary to complement each other, even as the vessel related, can be distinguished, but can not be separated one from the other (Djoyohadikusumo 1994, 223).

The meaning of technology, according to Capra (2004, 106) as meaning 'science', has changed throughout history. Technology, derived from Greek literature, technologia namely, the origin of the word techne, meaning art discourse. When the term was first used in English in the seventh century clemency, its meaning is a systematic discussion on the 'applied arts' or trade, and gradually meaning refers to the guild itself. In the 20th century, its meaning expanded to include not only equipment and machinery, but also the methods and non-technical material. Which means that a systematic application of techniques and methods. Now most of the definition of technology, information Capra (2004, 107) emphasize the relationship with science. Manuel Castells sociology experts cited as Capra (2004, 107) defines technology as' the collection of tools, rules and procedures is the application of scientific knowledge on a particular job in a way that allows the repetition.

However, described by Capra (107) technology is much older than science. The usulnya on the making of tools are far away in the early human species, that is when the language, reflective consciousness and the ability to create tools evolved together. In accordance with it, the first human species is named Homo habilis (skillful man) to show the ability to make sophisticated tools.

From the perspective of history, as described by Toynbee (2004, 35) technology is one of the special characteristics that the glory of man himself does not live with food only. Technology is a light that illuminate some of the non-material human life. Technology, information Toynbee (2004, 34) is a condition that allows constituents constituents non-material life of men, the feeling and thought, institutions, ideas and ideally. Technology is a direct manifestation of human intellect evidence.

From such a view, and develop technology that's more understood as the order of knowledge to achieve practical goals, or as something that is created or implemented as well as methods to create or implement. Two of the above interpretation has been replaced by technology such as environmental control of political power in the rise of technology, which has conquered the Western world and is now used in the era of new, more violent. To clarify the statement, we try to examine the technology more. View the substance of technology in more comprehensive, draft the framework of philosophy of technology.
