communication is the process through which individuals – in relationships,
groups, organizations, and societies – respond to and create messages to adapt
to the environment and one another” (Ruben & Steward).What is Technology?
“a
design for instrumental action that reduces the uncertainty in the cause-effect
relationships involved in achieving a desired outcome”(Rogers

"Tech" in the Dictionary: (Dictionary.com and Merriam-Webster...)
