# Technology
Technology (from Greek tekhnologia, "systematic treatment of art", also just "tech") encompasses tools and knowledge of making such tools invented and achieved mainly through [science](science.md) and by long systematic effort. This includes everything from [stone tools](rock.md) to space rockets and [artificial intelligence](ai.md). On the [Internet](internet.md), as well as on [this Wiki](lrs_wiki.md), this term is commonly used with an increased focus on [computer](computer.md) technology, i.e. [hardware](hardware.md) and [software](software.md), for this is the kind of technology that is being discussed and developed the most these days. Let it be said that technology, like [fire](fire.md), should serve us, but can also be dangerous and often gets misused and abused.

**The primary purpose of technology is to make people not have to [work](work.md)** -- see also [progress](progress.md). Proponents of dystopian societies, such as [capitalists](capitalism.md), fear that technology will "take work away from the people" -- people who say this are certainly highly idiotic and commonly end up abusing technology in the completely opposite manner: for enslaving and oppressing people. Proponents of [good technology](lrs.md) on the other hand strive to make technology do work for humans so that people can actually live happy lives and do what they want. With this said we additionally have to establish that **one of the most important concepts in technology is [minimalism](minimalism.md)**, as that is a necessary prerequisite for technological [freedom](freedom.md).
