   2 '''Technology''' is the field that applies science to solve problems with an industrial and/or commercial end in mind.  '''Engineering''' applies human traits such as [[imagination]], [[judgement]], [[integrity]], and [[intellectual discipline]] to existing human [[knowledgebase]]s to [[create]] or [[utilize]] technology [[safely]] and [[efficiently]].

   4 For example:  All buildings require the use of technology of some sort.
   5 A persistent [[Art|artistic]] expression requires materials to be formed, and exactly how to create those materials requires some rudimentary understanding of their chemical and physical properties. [[Architecture]] requires an understanding of the effects of [[weather]] and other natural forces, in addition to some knowledge of the strengths of the materials used.

   7 The term ''technology'' is usually used to explain new inventions and gadgets using recently derived scientific principles and processes. However, even very old inventions such as the [[wheel]] are, technically speaking, technology.
