Answers.Text: I think that if you look up "technology" in a dictionary, you won't find much mention of "science." Technology studies the _techniques_ that we use to make things. Some of those techniques may be inspired by science (i.e., the result of "applied science,") but that's not what the "technology" label implies. Hand built pottery, and hand-woven fabrics are just as "technological" as are computers and nuclear power stations.

  Actually, technology *per se* isn't science. But then, neither is mathematics. Technology is normally about the creation of things. Science is about using a certain methodology for trying to discern the truth about the world and natural processes. If you define natural processes broadly, including human processes, then social science is also science.
  
  But mathematics is about using logical process to explore the implications of basic assumptions (axioms).
  
  But both science and mathematics are about *ideas*, whereas technology is about *things*.
  
  Technology, as in iPhones and respirators and all, is about the creation of useful things. That is basically why you can *patent* inventions, but you can only copyright scientific papers.
  
  Some sorts of technology, say vaccines, depend on science to assure safety and efficacy. And some sorts of technology depend on mathematics, such as computers and bitcoin.
  
  Computer Science has elements of both science and technology. But one normally gets a PhD in CS for discoveries on the scientific side, even if the science is an exploration of something created on the technological side.
