The earliest excavations till the latest, where they have been found in any corner of the world have depicted through its findings that the acquaintance of the human civilization with the specific sphere of technology has been as old as the civilizations themselves. Be it the Indus Valley or the Inca or even the Aztec or the others on each site there have been ample evidences portraying the application of technology in whatever magnitude that was possible. The drainage system as evident in the cities of the Indus Valley would not have been there had there been no application of technology. Even to different schools of thought hitherto the discovery of fire, invention of wheel and the initiation of their gradual applications have been the greatest application of technology to be reckoned with veneration that altered the course of human history.
The surge of the modern technology that commenced from the Renaissance of the Mediaeval Europe has been moving unabated thanks to the dedication of a large number of people through generations. It is though their earnest efforts that t chnology has affected and its surroundings through all possible extents. It has been recorded that in many societies, technology has helped immensely in the development of national economy into the more advanced one. In the Indian context, the staggering economy of the decade old embodying an unachievable socialist dream was rejuvinated with the touch stone of Open Market Economy leading to the striking growth of the sector of Information Technology. It has been also in the last century that men became able to land on the Moon, citing an exponential grwoth in the precinct of science and technology. However, at the same time it has to be accepeted that several technological processes in due course produce unwanted by-products known as pollution, which in due course has become a grave concern for the environment of the entire planet. On the other hand, the various implementations of technology influence the existing values of a society and new technology often raises new ethical questions. Examples in this respect include the rise of the notion of efficiency in terms of human productivity, a term originally applied only to machines, and the challenge of traditional norms.
