Any new idea or product that has been created by a person can be called an invention. Inventions change the way people live their lives—they make things safer, easier, faster, or cheaper.
Technology is the science of how things work. The inventors of these shoes knew that a coiled spring is a source of stored energy. They used this technology to make powered shoes.




Technology all around us.
The use of science to provide new and better machines and ways of doing things is called technology. Every day, you use technology in one of its many different forms. Here are a few of them.

Mechanical technology is the design, production, and use of machines like wind-up clocks and other appliances that do not use electrical, electronic, or computer technology.

When the science of chemistry is used to turn raw materials into more useful things like plastics, cosmetics, or drugs, this is called chemical technology.
