TECHNIQUE
Some people have a special technique for performing difficult tasks. Removing the pit from a mango, changing the nappies of kicking babies, or opening wine bottles without using a corkscrew: there’s a technique for everything. However, it’s often more about the “technique” than the “technology”, even though the words are similar. Tinkering with high-voltage substations, F16s, and robotic arms — now that's technology! However, technical sciences are becoming increasingly important in our society. Within technical science, all kinds of techniques and sciences come together. What if a robot could eventually change a baby's diaper?
