2. Technology is the making, usage, and knowledge of
tools, machines, techniques, crafts, systems or methods of
organization in order to solve a problem or perform a
specific function. Recent technological
developments, including the printing press, the
telephone, and the Internet, have lessened physical barriers
to communication and allowed humans to interact freely on
a global scale. However, not all technology has been used
for peaceful purposes; the development of weapons of ever-
increasing destructive power has progressed throughout
history. As nuclear weapons.

5. HTC has launched a new flagship Android smartphone, the HTC One X, at
the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The majority of mobile giants
had their announcements before the actual start of the MWC -- including
Samsung, LG and Sony. The device also brings a vastly improved camera
experience, called Image Sense. The camera takes photos quickly -- in
0.7 seconds. It has 8 megapixels and uses an f/2.0 lens, which captures
more light than any other HTC smartphone camera. It also takes great
photos in unfavorable light conditions, thanks to the device's HDR
algorithm. The company also launched two other HTC One devices with
slightly lower specs -- the HTC One S and the HTC One V. All three
devices should be hitting the market in the next two months, likely in April.

6. The history of technology is the history
of the invention of tools and
techniques, and is similar in many
ways to the history of humanity.
Background knowledge has enabled
people to create new things, and
conversely, many scientific endeavors
have become possible through
technologies which assist humans to
travel to places we could not otherwise
go, and probe the nature of the
universe in more detail than our natural
senses allow.

7. Landing on the Moon
20th century technology developed rapidly. Due to the scientific
gains directly tied to military research and
development, technologies including electronic computing
might have developed as rapidly as they did in part due to war.
Radio, radar, and early sound recording were key technologies
which paved the way for the telephone, fax machine, and
magnetic storage of data

8. In the early 21st century, the main technology being developed
is electronics. Broadband Internet access became
commonplace in developed countries, as did connecting home
computers with music libraries and mobile phones.
Biotechnology is a relatively new field that holds yet unknown
possibilities. Spacecraft designs are also being developed, like
the Orion. The James Webb Space Telescope will try to identify
early galaxies as well as the exact location of the Solar System
within our galaxy, using the infrared spectrum. The finished
International Space Station will provide an intermediate
platform for space missions and zero gravity experiments.
Despite challenges and criticism, NASA and ESA plan a
manned mission to Mars in the 2030s.
