Technology
Teknologi Informasi adalah istilah umum yang menjelaskan teknologi apa pun yang membantu manusia dalam membuat, mengubah, menyimpan, mengomunikasikan dan/atau menyebarkan informasi. TI menyatukan komputasi dan komunikasi berkecepatan tinggi untuk data, suara, dan video. Contoh dari Teknologi Informasi bukan hanya berupa komputer pribadi, tetapi juga telepon, TV, peralatan rumah tangga elektronik, dan peranti genggam modern (misalnya ponsel).
Teknologi
Peran Teknologi Informasi sangat besar bagi kemajuan bisnis maupun oranisasi apapun.
Teknologi Informasi sangat signifikan dalam menciptakan efisiensi dan fektivitas proses-proses bisnis dan pengambilan keputusan.
Agar di peroleh manfaat maksimal, Teknologi Informasi perlu ditata dan dikembangkan dengan visi jauh ke depan.
Mulai dari pembuatan software, networking application, system information, database, multimedia, web desaign dan development hingga training di bidang Teknologi Informasi.

Do you looking for speakers? If yes then here is latest Wireless Speaker Z515 and Laptop Speaker Z305 introduced by Logitech. These compact design wireless speakers are perfect to use with your notebook PC. Both includes excellent features the Z515 comes with a USB wireless adapter that plugs to USB of laptop and uses 2.4GHz wireless technology. Other features include dual 2-inch drivers and rechargeable battery that previous for up to 10 hours. The Wireless Speaker too works iPad and iPhone – just put iPhone/iPad into Discovery mode and the speaker determination get it and attach wirelessly.
The Laptop Speaker Z305 has a fitted USB cable, a lightweight, clip-on speaker that presents 360-degree audio. Just single USB connection is required for audio and power. The clip of the Z305 snips securely to mainly netbooks and laptops, so you can simply utilize it everyplace you use your PC.
Both the speakers offer you awesome sound, these speakers are built in advance technology, seems chic. You can place it anywhere at your home or office. They also arrive with a travel case. Both Z515 and Z305 offer AUX-in 3.5mm jack for linking other audio sources. Price tag of these speakers is $99.99 for Z515 and $59.99 for Z305.
Science, engineering and technology
The distinction between science, engineering and technology is not always clear. Science is the reasoned investigation or study of phenomena, aimed at discovering enduring principles among elements of the phenomenal world by employing formal techniques such as the scientific method. Technologies are not usually exclusively products of science, because they have to satisfy requirements such as utility, usability and safety.
Engineering is the goal-oriented process of designing and making tools and systems to exploit natural phenomena for practical human means, often (but not always) using results and techniques from science. The development of technology may draw upon many fields of knowledge, including scientific, engineering, mathematical, linguistic, and historical knowledge, to achieve some practical result.
Technology is often a consequence of science and engineering — although technology as a human activity precedes the two fields. For example, science might study the flow of electrons in electrical conductors, by using already-existing tools and knowledge. This new-found knowledge may then be used by engineers to create new tools and machines, such as semiconductors, computers, and other forms of advanced technology. In this sense, scientists and engineers may both be considered technologists; the three fields are often considered as one for the purposes of research and reference.
The exact relations between science and technology in particular have been debated by scientists, historians, and policymakers in the late 20th century, in part because the debate can inform the funding of basic and applied science. In the immediate wake of World War II, for example, in the United States it was widely considered that technology was simply "applied science" and that to fund basic science was to reap technological results in due time. An articulation of this philosophy could be found explicitly in Vannevar Bush's treatise on postwar science policy, Science—The Endless Frontier: "New products, new industries, and more jobs require continuous additions to knowledge of the laws of nature... This essential new knowledge can be obtained only through basic scientific research." In the late-1960s, however, this view came under direct attack, leading towards initiatives to fund science for specific tasks (initiatives resisted by the scientific community). The issue remains contentious—though most analysts resist the model that technology simply is a result of scientific research.

Technology
Technology is the usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, crafts, systems or methods of organization in order to solve a problem or serve some purpose. The word technology comes from the Greek technología (τεχνολογία) — téchnē (τέχνη), an "art", "skill" or "craft" and -logía (-λογία), the study of something, or the branch of knowledge of a discipline. The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include construction technology, medical technology, and information technology.
Technologies significantly affect human as well as other animal species' ability to control and adapt to their natural environments. The human species' use of technology began with the conversion of natural resources into simple tools. The prehistorical discovery of the ability to control fire increased the available sources of food and the invention of the wheel helped humans in travelling in and controlling their environment. Recent technological developments, including the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet, have lessened physical barriers to communication and allowed humans to interact freely on a global scale. However, not all technology has been used for peaceful purposes; the development of weapons of ever-increasing destructive power has progressed throughout history, from clubs to nuclear weapons.
Technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies, technology has helped develop more advanced economies (including today's global economy) and has allowed the rise of a leisure class. Many technological processes produce unwanted by-products, known as pollution, and deplete natural resources, to the detriment of the Earth and its environment. Various implementations of technology influence the values of a society and new technology often raises new ethical questions. Examples include the rise of the notion of efficiency in terms of human productivity, a term originally applied only to machines, and the challenge of traditional norms.
Philosophical debates have arisen over the present and future use of technology in society, with disagreements over whether technology improves the human condition or worsens it. Neo-Luddism, anarcho-primitivism, and similar movements criticise the pervasiveness of technology in the modern world, opining that it harms the environment and alienates people; proponents of ideologies such as transhumanism and techno-progressivism view continued technological progress as beneficial to society and the human condition. Indeed, until recently, it was believed that the development of technology was restricted only to human beings, but recent scientific studies indicate that other primates and certain dolphin communities have developed simple tools and learned to pass their knowledge to other generations.
