"Technology is simplistically defined as ‘Application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes.’ However, it belies the transformative impact that it has on the entire human civilization. The first known technological marvel dates back to some 2.5 to 3 million years ago, when stone tools were first used. Since then, the invention of paper, printing press, optical lenses, steam engines, internal combustion engines, electricity, semiconductors & such have played a huge role in improving the quality of life. Today, innovations span every facet of our life.The National Technology Day that is observed today commemorates Operation Shakti that was led by the remarkable scientist and former President Mr A P J Abdul Kalam.
