Technology

From the touchscreen phones in our pockets and the planes that soar above the clouds to the social media platforms we procrastinate on, the ability to make tools is what separates us from other animals and allowed our species to survive and evolve over the course of millions of years. Britannica defines technology as "The application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life or, as it is sometimes phrased, to the change and manipulation of the human environment." And by that definition, the Nintendo Gameboy is just as much a piece of technology as the common hammer. Be it artificial intelligence, virtual reality, cryptocurrency, or blockchain, we've seen an incredible number of groundbreaking technological advancements in the past decade. The Noonies Technology Awards category honors all those engineers, developers, entrepreneurs, and tech writers who make the industry what it is today.
