	Technology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The notion of appropriate technology, however, was developed in the twentieth century to describe situations where it was not desirable to use very new technologies or those that required access to some centralized infrastructure or parts or skills imported from elsewhere.
		Intermediate technology, more of an economics concern, refers to compromises between central and expensive technologies of developed nations and those which developing nations find most effective to deploy given an excess of labour, and scarcity of cash.
		Persuasion technology, in economics, definitions or assumptions of progress or growth are often related to one or more assumptions about technology's economic influence.

		For example, feminist literature concerning technology in the home is useful as a framework because it focuses on the importance of social roles, the hierarchy of these roles, and the relationships of power between women and men in relation to technological skills and use (Cowan 1983; 1987; 1999).
		There are often expectations that technology in the home (domestic technology) will be labour and time saving devices that alleviate women's domestic responsibilities, but this has not been the case (Wajcman 1991).
		Domestic technology has not lessened the unpaid workload for women, and ultimately reproduces ideas of appropriate femininity (and masculinity).

		Technology transfer from the federal defense sector to the domestic nonmilitary sector is a goal supported by several administrations and mandated by more than a decade of legislation (Appendix C).
		The purpose of the DOD domestic technology transfer policy, as stated in DOD Report 3200.12-R-4, is “to achieve the maximum national benefit from DOD scientific and technical efforts” (DOD, 1988).
		Encourage domestic technology transfer in the work place through its recognition in position descriptions, in promotion policies, in monetary awards, and in performance evaluations for appropriate scientific and engineering personnel.

		Researching men and the domestic telephony means looking in places we don’t normally look: focusing on men but concentrating on their everyday lives; focusing on technology but on a de-technisised technology.
		Thus technology was to be thought of through and through as a social phenomenon’ (Button, 1993:1) and secondly, according to Button, the social shaping perspective sought to develop an interest in the organisation of the technology itself.
		Thick descriptions of technology is in my case largely analysed within the consuming of the technology and here a constructivist analysis demands a thorough insight into the nuances of uses and non uses of the technology.

		At the same time, however, the operation of national government policies, especially those seeking to support the development of "strategic technologies," may be enhanced or frustrated by the actions of the private firms that operate global networks for innovation and the commercialization of new technologies.
		The only reliable data on technology creation are patenting statistics, which have important drawbacks (e.g., the widely remarked differences among industries in their propensity to patent), but nevertheless capture an important input into the innovation process that is "downstream" from RandD investment.
		Like its immediate predecessors, technology policy in the Clinton administration supports the creation of knowledge-based competitive assets that are internationally mobile, while placing less weight on improvements in the ability of U.S. firms and workers to absorb and apply technological advances from external or foreign sources.

	VII.B.3. Army Domestic Technology Transfer (ADTT) Program
		Technology transfer has recently received increased emphasis within the Army, the Congress, and the current Administration as we have recognized the need to merge military and civilian technology and production bases to form a unified, strengthened, national capability.
		They make the technology, facilities, and people of Army laboratories available to a commercial partner at an early stage of development; provide a direct benefit to the Army's mission from the partner's effort; and perhaps most importantly, encourage direct interpersonal communication between scientists and engineers of the two sectors.
		Army CRDAs should be established to develop technology with an obvious value, either in commercial application for improving the U.S. competitive position or in applications for the public good, such as in health, education, or environmental areas.

		Instead of removing housework, domestic technology contributed to a re-definition of how that work should be organized and done.
		Married working-class women were forced to work outside the home as domestics or in the manufacturing industries, and often their first exposure to appliances was as a result of working for someone else.
		At the turn of the century, two basic shortcomings of the existing electric technology were the lack of the ability to produce heat (through resistance) and the lack of motive power (small motors).

		In domestic abuse, the men that come to us are assumed guilty, in denial, not forthcoming, and essentially controlling.
		For example, when a woman manufactures or dramatizes domestic abuse problems to get what she wants or to be heard in a custody and parenting time dispute, she is directly undermining the domestic violence victim in the next courtroom trying to “prove” she is a victim.
		Some folks in the domestic violence community are alarmed by this notion of being outspoken about the complexities of domestic violence.

	REC: Environmental Technology Market: Regional Overview, part 6
		This chapter of the survey was intended to determine purchasing preferences prevalent on the domestic markets, to identify the strengths of foreign environmental technologies, and to examine the barriers to their wider entry to CEE markets.
		Please note that the term "foreign technologies" was widely interpreted to mean "Western technologies." Technologies from other CEE countries (not surveyed here) are generally not considered very competitive - they usually fall in a similar price range, and have quality comparable to that of domestic products.
		The country of origin (domestic vs. foreign) of a particular environmental technology clearly is not the key factor behind purchasing decisions made among CEE buyers.

	Iterations: An interdisciplinary journal of software history
		In other words, the growth of India’s software industry must be explained in terms of how shifting domestic policy conditions allowed her to take advantage of global demand and her labor force characteristics to become, along with Israel, the leading non-OECD software exporter by the end of the millennium.
		Despite the simplification of import procedures, domestic manufacturers were to be protected initially with high tariffs, although there was to be a progressive reduction in tariffs to force them to compete at international levels.
		The result of such efforts was the creation of an awareness of the policies needed to promote the information technology (IT) industry, and their potential benefits, among the political leadership, the upper echelons of the bureaucracy and the urban intelligentsia.

		The present generation of specialists on information technologies knows almost nothing about the history of development and use of computers in domestic weapon systems and assets.
		Many mobile computerized military command and control systems were produced in small numbers (just several units, dozens, or hundreds), a factor orienting the developers to the employment of original technical solutions and causing disregard for unification and standardization of hardware, software and their production methods.
		From the start of employment of computer technology, military systems were marked by a wide spectrum of tasks, whose number and diversity was growing sharply as they got certified.
