Some people think that technology is a new idea. But technology has been around for a long time. Long before we had electricity or telephones or factory machines, we had technology. Technology means that we use our knowledge and our skills to make something. Then we use the thing we have made to help us do other things we need to do.
Tools are certainly part of technology.
We also need to know, however, how to use those tools. If we don't have the knowledge that lets us use the tools, those tools would be useless. Knowledge is just as important to technology as are tools. New technologies often bring changes to our world. For example, Johann Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1445.
