Abstract

This paper is an attempt to historicize and contextualize the role of technology in history. Technology has always been the determinant part of every culture and civilization. But in no other period in history, has technology entrenched itself into every aspect of human life as it has now, to the extent that the present civilization is called a 'technological civilization'. While science existed in history as an abstruse speculation on knowing the nature of things, technology was always concerned with making and doing things.
