I was born in 1971, so when I was a kid, people weren't using the internet but I had a computer in my house when I about 11 or 12 years old and my dad taught me some basic programming and I even created a program where I fooled one of my friends into thinking that we had entered into the computer record system at my school and he was getting a bad grade in social studies and I made it look like we had entered into the social studies records file and I changed his grade and he was very scared about this.

What´s technology?:

"Technology is the practical application of knowledge. Technology involves turning natural items into useful products: eg.car, tin, clothes, etc. It´s the practical method to change resources into product need by the society. It is the current state of humanity's knowledge of how to combine resources to produce desired products, to solve problems, fulfill needs, or satisfy wants; it includes technical methods, skills, processes, techniques, tools and raw materials. Additionally, technology is the application of math, science, and the techniques for the benefit of life as it is known. It´s the “know-how”. 

The etymology of the word technology, coming from the Greek “technología” (τεχνολογία) — téchnē (τέχνη), an 'art', 'skill' or 'craft' and -logía (-λογία), the study of something, or the branch of knowledge of a discipline. 

The human species' use of technology began with the conversion of natural resources into simple tools. The prehistorical discovery of the ability to control fire increased the available sources of food and the invention of the wheel helped humans in travelling in and controlling their environment. Recent technological developments, including theprinting press, the telephone, and the Internet, have lessened physical barriers tocommunication and allowed humans to interact freely on a global scale. However, not all technology has been used for peaceful purposes; the development of weapons of ever-increasing destructive power has progressed throughout history, from clubs to nuclear weapons."
