 DEFINITION OF TECHNOLOGY
Technology is a science metode to do one or more purpose; things that help human life or give them many benefit.

 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
If we talk about Technology, the word ‘SCIENCE’ usually axist. Why? That’s because there’s a relationship between Science and Technology. The Technology and Science always advance together. A new Scientific invention can creat various new Technology inventions and new Technology invention will stronger the scientific finding. Example, if people knew the work of eyes and could find it’s disease (Scientific invention) so they would try to found things can help them solve the problem. So, they found glasses, microscope, etc. (Technology invention). The conclution is Science make the Technology and Technology help people to learn about Science.

 HISTORY OF TECHNOLOGY
Technology always grow and develop everytime. It because over time people need more technology for life. So, people try to make new technology. Several types of technology that have big effect for human life are :
 COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION
Communication is very important for human life. Therefore, it continues to get better from time to time. First, people communicate by using simple tools such as smoke or light. But then discovered writings that allows humans. Writing is the oldest form of communication, developed by the merchants. Then, the paper also made in China at 105 BC. Then, in the early 19th century, discovered the phone. Next, people started creating different types of communication technologies such as faximail, computer, mobile phone, and internet. It's certainly easier for people to communicate globally. Until now, communication and information is still growing.

 TRANSPORTATION
Besides communication, transportation is also very important for human life. Humans who want to travel certainly want more easily. Thus there developed a variety of transport technologies. Thousands of years ago, people traveled by foot. Then, people thought to make the wheels. In 2500 BC, humans began to use the horsepower to ground transportation. Then around the 1800s, humans began creating bicycles. Bicycles began to grow, up came the motorized bicycle and car from steam-powered until the fuel-powered in 19th century. Since invented the steam engine, also creates a train running on rails. Not only need vehicles for ground transportation, people who want to cross the waters also need the vehicle. Then came the sailing ships that take advantage of the wind in the year 1200. The ship continues to grow from sailing ships, steam ships, to modern ships like now. since ancient, the human desired to fly. So, many inventors are thinking. The successful first flight was using an air balloon in 1783. Then continue with the discovery of the aircraft by the Wright brothers. Since then, the aircraft continued to evolve to become more modern.

 AGRICULTURAL
Agriculture is one of the important sectors for the country of Indonesia. However, agriculture in Indonesia is still less developed than other countries. In fact, Indonesia opportunity to develop a huge field of agriculture. The history of agriculture has been started since ancient times. Humans cultivate the land and vegetation to be consumed. However, if only by human power alone, it might be difficult. So, created a variety of technologies. Like the pirates (pembajak) who have been around since 3500 BC, then in 1838 was found also reapers (pemanen), and in 1910 used the method of spraying the fields with low-flying aircraft.
 MEDICAL
Medical technology continues to grow because of disease progression in humans. Health technology has been known since the days before the century by many countries in many different ways of healing respectively. For example, the countries in Asia at that time have known the traditional medicines. Now, medical science growing, not only the elements of the medicine but also in it’s tools. For example a syringe in 1850. Syringe help people to use many medicine other than being swallowed. Other tools such as ultrasound and x-rays are also beginning to emerge as the development era.
 CONSTRUCTION AND ARCHITECTURE
500,000 years ago, humans lived in huts made of twigs and wood. However, over the period, about 10,000 BC, humans use the land and stones to build houses. Later, discovered a variety of materials and other ways that are easier to build a house or a better place to live. Like the invention of cement that holds the bricks and the construction stackable roof has been used since 640 BC. The other devices were also found construction work, such as plumbline, workmate, etc.. Tools and other materials that home builders continue to grow since then include the use of iron and paint.
