Abstract

Technology necessitates expertise to be beneficial; human activities and requires resources, tools, and materials to be effective. It is driven by science as it necessitates background knowledge and skills. There are needs for other supporting technologies such as artifacts and tools. In addition, technological needs must be established in society as end functions and valences (values). It deserves respect to serve you and social organizations are needed to establish the literacy in technology. People must trust the technology; background knowledge and skills about the benefits and harms must be explained to the public boldly. Let us remember that nothing is free; technology may harm you.
