berhubung py sekula di Institut Tempat Berkarya... (apa coba??) jadi mari kita bahas membahas soal ini...

Pertama denger dua kata ini emang agak bingung, apa sih bedanya? Yang jelas malah kesamaannya, 4 huruf di awal (t-e-k-n),,, Wink

Emang sih sekilas keduanya mirip. okelah,,itu kemiripannya. so what?? and what makes the difference?

Gampangnya, py ambil sumber dari encarta dictionary tools
--technology--
1.  application of tools and methods: the study, development, and application of devices, machines, and techniques for manufacturing and productive processes
recent developments in seismographic technology
 
2.  method of applying technical knowledge: a method or methodology that applies technical knowledge or tools
a new technology for accelerating incubation
"...Maryland-based firm uses database and Internet technology to track a company's consumption of printed goods..." (Forbes Global Business and Finance November 1998)
 
3.  machines and systems: machines, equipment, and systems considered as a unit
the latest laser technology
 
4.  cultural anthropology sum of practical knowledge: the sum of a society's or culture's practical knowledge, especially with reference to its material culture

--technique--
1.  procedure or skill required: the procedure, skill, or art used in a specific task
2.  treatment of basics: the way in which the basics of something such as an artistic work or a sport are treated
3.  skill possessed: skill or expertise in doing a specific thing

4.  special ability: a special ability or knack

Keliatannya udah jelas, ya, dari definisi kedua kata itu di atas.

Secara simpel bisa dibilang, teknologi itu sainsnya dan teknik adalah caranya.

Untuk menghasilkan sesuatu yang baru ataupun mengolah sesuatu menjadi lebih berguna dan dapat diaplikasikan, kita butuh teknik. Sementara apa yang tercipta dari pemikiran kita, itulah yang disebut teknologi.
