The application of scientific knowledge to create tools, systems, and devices that solve problems, enhance productivity, or improve quality of life. Technology can include both physical devices and digital innovations.

Technology, in a broader sense, has been used for centuries by Indigenous, Black, and disability justice communities to solve problems and build solidarity outside of technocapitalism. From mutual aid networks to community-based technologies, these groups have long practiced care-centered approaches that resist exploitative models. Their knowledge offers pathways to reduce harm, promote sustainability, and build intersectional tech futures where tech serves collective wellbeing rather than profit.
