What is technology about?

Technology is intervention by design to expand human possibilities.

Almost every aspect of daily life – food, health care, transport, communications, entertainment, our environment – uses technology.

New Zealanders have long been technological innovators and creators. Our economy has been driven by creative problem solvers, designers and inventors.
