 “A process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs, or behavior” (Merriam-Webster).


What is Technology?
“a design for instrumental action that reduces the uncertainty in the cause-effect relationships involved in achieving a desired outcome”(Rogers).
