Did you know?
- The modern Greek word τεχνολογία is actually a linguistic 'return home' because it was modeled after the French word 'technologie' to re-import the Ancient Greek roots back into the modern language.
- In Ancient Greek, the concept of τέχνη was contrasted with φύσις ('nature'), meaning that technology was viewed as anything created by human skill as opposed to natural growth.
- Because the word τέχνη also means 'art', a Greek speaker might see a linguistic link between a computer programmer and a painter that an English speaker would miss.
