Abstract
Language deals with meanings, but the words used do not always have a single definition, or even a precise one. This is the case with the word technology, the title of this section, which is used in two different senses in this book. The German word Technik is more expressive and encompasses a wider range of meaning in a better definition. (Note: some further discussions and definitions of terms and expressions used in this book may be found in appendix B.)
