Yea actually it does, the purpose is whatever the users/builders use it for. So a stick has any purpose that it's user can think for it - starting a fire, hitting an animal to kill it, support for a mud wall etc...

Technology arises out of a sense of purpose from it's user. This is pretty common understanding in philosophy of science.

I think what you say is basically equivalent - technology has no inherent purpose in it besides the one we give to it; that purpose itself is a feature of the human user, not the feature of any given technology (i.e. it doesn't "stick" to an object).

Personally, I see technology as the way to extend the power of our (individual and collective) will to make something happen.
