Technology

A contrivance of the Ancients, technology was the ability of said Ancients to harness scientific knowledge and principles and distill them into devices of convenience. Some of those devices went beyond mere convenience, fostering transmission of knowledge and security intergenerationally. The visheat device is a prime instance of such technology that has survived to the present day. The word technology may refer to specific devices or to this harnessing of science that makes them possible.
