GOVERNANCE
ARE NOT THE SAME
TECHNOLOGY:The word technology derives from Greek
origins that suggest the notion of material objects which serve humanity, such as machines, hardware or utensils. The term can either be applied generally or
to specific areas: examples include "construction technology", "medical
technology", or “state of the art” technology".
GOVERNANCE:The word governance derives from Latin
origins that suggest the notion of "steering". One can contrast this sense of "steering" a group or society with the traditional "top-down" approach of governments "driving"
society. Distinguish between governance's
"power to " and governments' "power over".
