FWIW, I'm only stating what seems obvious to me. You can disagree though I suspect trying to narrow the definition at this point will be pushing a rock up hill or swimming up stream.

My view of words like technology is they are more like sliding windows, covering what the zeitgeist is classifying. Somewhat like the word 'fashion' or 'fad' aren't limited to any one specific kind of dress or style.

The word 'technology' would be less useful if it always had to be qualified to exclude everything from fire and the wheel up to the transistor?
