    The common definition of technology is any practical application of scientific priciples.

    So yes, a shower head, a shoe horn, and chopsticks are all technology.

    However, in the context of News and Discussion, Technology typically means Computing, Internet, Electronics, Telecoms, AI, Energy Tech, etc and usually with a focus on new developments, product releases, new breakthroughs, etc.

        The story is not about a new breakthrough or even Energy tech at all. Its about policy.
