In education today, most people associate the word "technology" with computers. City
Technology takes a much broader view:
Technology includes both things designed by people, and also ways of arranging and
deploying them for practical use. Borrowing words from the computer field, these two
aspects of technology constitute hardware and software, respectively. For example,
furniture is hardware, while the plan for arranging it is software.
In examining any example of technology, from a shopping bag to a classroom furniture
arrangement, City Technology asks what problems it was designed to solve, how well it
solves them, and how it could be redesigned to solve them better.
