Technology is the result of congregate knowledge and the application of skills, methods, and processes used in industrial production and scientific research. Technology is embedded in the operation of all machines, with or without detailed knowledge of their function, for the intended purpose of an organization. The technologies of society consist of what is known as systems. Systems operate by obtaining an input, altering this input through what is known as a process, and then producing an outcome that achieves the intended purpose of the system. This is also known as a technology system or technological system.

The earliest and simplest form of technology is the development of knowledge that leads to the application of basic tools. The prehistoric invention of shaped stone tools and the discovery of how to control fire increased the sources of food that were available to human beings through cooking procedures that eliminated almost all disease-causing pathogens in food sources. The subsequent Neolithic Revolution quadrupled the sustenance available from a usable territory through the development of farming technologies.

The invention of the wheel led to the traveling technologies that helped humans further increase the yield of food production over a given period and travel between and across territories in less time, where information could be more easily exchanged between members of society. Not only did this circumstance result in increased total food production and increased information exchange over large territories, but also the increased production of raw materials, such as spinning thread or yarn, through the invention of the spinning wheel. Since these raw materials can be processed into paper, the opportunity to provide information to a larger population had also become available during this period in history.

Humanity then progressed to the development of the printing press, the telephone, the computer, and then the Internet. Computers consist of a central processing unit and storage devices. As a result of the continual focus on the research of processors and storage devices, technological developments have not only increased information exchange but have also allowed people to pave the road for self-regulated and self-operating technology.

Lord Keynes describes unemployment in advanced economies to be the result of deficiency of effective demand, which means demand for labor falls because the demand for industrial products also falls.
