Technology is things people make to make our lives better and easier. Technology includes examples like cars, computers, and phones. People use technology to help them talk to each other, to keep track of information, and to help them do their work. Different kinds of technology work in different ways. For example, cars help us travel long distances in a short amount of time, computers help us store and organize information, and phones help us talk to each other. Technology makes it easier for us to do things that would otherwise be impossible or take a long time.
