Abstract
The Nature and Scope of Technology
Technology is the development and application of
knowledge and experience to satisfy human needs. It
involves the production and use of goods and services,
whereas reductionism is fragmentation of tasks into
components which engenders isolation of scientific disciplines
and may lead to alienation with the real life
problem. Hence an integrative approach, a holistic view
is needed (systems engineering).
