Yes, I am agree with the idea of technology as a simple mechanism (not exactly a big big machine on a factory) but I have to say something important too: The machine isn't the importance on this topic, the main deal is the useful things and the help that brings to your daily life.
For this reason I going to talk about an obvious kind of technology (the most known, maybe) which I needed with urgency. I talk about a common notebook.
When I started my career I don't have internet and an own computer. Months after I started with the college we have an internet conection on our house, which I used for reunions with my classmates, checking the e-mails (and u-cursos) and searching some information for my works. Yeah, Internet was a big help to me but I didn't have my own computer yet so I had to wait for my bother and my mother who used the computer of the house for work and leisure. When they used it for fun when I needed it, for example, to delivery a homework with urgency I got really angry (and when I'm angry you have to looking for a place to hide, I warn you). The other problem was the storage of the disk, my design softwares was occupying a lot of memory on the CPU and my brother got angry too and said that the future problems of storage will be mainly my fault. And finally privacy... oh, please, I hate when someone stands behind me and sees what I'm doing! If a talk with a friend, if I'm searching some music or some series, if I read some blogs... COME ON! I don't use the internet for porn XD
But with all this problems I wasn't able to get mad because we don't have enough money for a new computer.

For my 21th birthday one of my aunts (and also, one of my neighbourgs) gave me a notebook (Notebook Dell Inspiron... and I don't remember anymore) for a kind of reward to all the effort on my career. It was a really good gift because I can now go to my bedroom to work and have skype reunions with classmates, install all the software I want without worries of another users with the storage, customize the wallpaper, the bowser and the folders, work on the university with the notebook (but this gave me fear on the first days because I don't wanted to lose it or be a steal victim), play the games I want, have all the music I want... and a lot of things. Without my notebook I would back to use another computer and now this bothers me because I don't feel free at all and I can't use it quietly. Maybe it sounds mean but I am used to have my own work center and I don't feel confortable when I wanna do something but another person says me a lot of time that the storage is full for my fault.
Now this notebook has one year and one month with me and I am so happy with it and I used it with another gadgets like pendrives, headphones and a tablet pen. Is like a tech-bunker XD No, I don't stay far of the people with it but I can play and work without problems.
P.S.1: Sorry if I wrote a big text but I felt inspired XD
P.S.2: I have to draw some things for this posts
I had the same problem with the computer! my brother is very selfish! and when my computer was broken, my parents bought a new computer, but my brother didn't lend it to me! just for the works of the college D: it was horrible, I didn't talk and watch videos! but now, My computer is perfect, and my brother uses my laptop because he dislikes his computer ¬¬
