      The common definition of technology is any practical application of scientific priciples.

      So yes, a shower head, a shoe horn, and chopsticks are all technology.

      However, in the context of News and Discussion, Technology typically means Computing, Internet, Electronics, Telecoms, AI, Energy Tech, etc and usually with a focus on new developments, product releases, new breakthroughs, etc.
