Technology vs. Technology: What’s the difference between the two?
In recent days there is, on certain media, an ongoing discussion between experts in the field of technology, and a growing number of readers, which wonders what is the difference between technology and technics. Some affirm that technology is the Theory of technology, others that is the diverse wants to solve the practical problems that arise horizontally. Still others say that technology is the formation of theory and practice of technics, and that technics is the application of a generic principle in a particular domain.
These differences have arisen as a result of many years of practice experience and theoretical reflections, such as the work of M. H. Donnelly, E. Marchant, and Pelaez, to name a few, or those of the famous specialists of such work like F. Gayet.
Technology is manifestly a discipline highly complex in which there is a double theoretical and practical information, which requires expertise and skill, different from what is required of the historian and artist, whose practical information is a phenomenon, something obvious and manifesting life. On the other hand, the technology has a horizontality which is often lacking to the aesthetics and history.
