The Industrial Revolution is marked by several factors, one of which is the transformation from technique to technology.
We can cite several examples of techniques, from the most archaic to the most current, such as planting techniques, hunting using bow and arrow, among others.
Technique is to create a management, a knowledge that can generate inventions in order to facilitate a certain job. With the social relations of experiences, the evolution of techniques takes place, which would be an accumulation of knowledge about the ways of working.
Computers, air transport, fiber optics, the body of knowledge, research and all arsenal of technologies in contemporary society is the result of the transformation of technique to technology.
Technology is the evolved technique, which is the result of ideas from the past that over the years have been modified and improved, especially after 1970, the beginning of the third Industrial Revolution, when scientific knowledge and research took a leap gigantic.
Technological advances aim to present innovations to industries, in addition to contributing to the speculative market. In medicine, he revolutionized treatments, created vaccines, discovered the cure for diseases and, with all that, improved the quality of life, also raising expectations.
However, it is necessary to pay attention, as these evolutions do not occur in the world in a homogeneous way, due to the technological disparities arising from the degree of development of countries (developed and underdeveloped).
