The Standards for Technological Literacy defines technology as "the innovation, change, or modification of the natural environment in order to satisfy perceived human wants and needs."
The National Science Education Standards states, "...the goal of technology is to make modifications in the world to meet human needs."
The American Association for the Advancement of Science's (AAAS) Benchmarks for Science Literacy presents the following: "In the broadest sense, technology extends our abilities to change the world: to cut, shape, or put together materials; to move things from one place to another; to reach farther with our hands, voices, and senses."
The National Academy of Engineers and National Research Council publication, Technically Speaking, technology is described as "...the process by which humans modify nature to meet their needs and wants."
