    Technology ("science of craft", from Greek τέχνη, techne, "art, skill, cunning of hand"; and -λογία, -logia|) is the collection of techniques, skills, methods, and processes used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation.”

    ~ Wikipedia on technology

    This article aims to gather tech relevant for the well being of the populations and the planet. Technology can be used for good and evil this is a good reason to keep up-to-date on the problems and opportunities and good solutions.

    Automation

    Automation is the technology by which a process or procedure is performed with minimal human assistance.”

    Automated locking system makes bikesharing efficient.

    AI

    Artificial intelligence (AI), sometimes called machine intelligence, is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals. Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is used to describe machines that mimic "cognitive" functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as "learning" and "problem solving".”

    AI is can be divided to multiple subfields:

    • w:Expert system is a computer system that emulates the decision-making ability of a human expert. ( Wikipedia )

    Ecological tech

    There are various interesting ecological technologies being piloted.

    Hydrogen purified steel

    HYBRIT an abbreviation of HYdrogen BReakthrough Ironmaking Technology, where iron for steel making is not purified by a process called coking, but instead using massive amounts of hydrogen to purify it.

    w:SSAB and partners are building a small-scale pilot production line in Luleå, Sweden, slated to be launched in 2020.

    Food from air and electricity

    In Finland Solar Foods Ltd. has demonstrated making protein called Solein with renewable electricity and CO2 as raw material and are building their first real plant soon.

    Water demand of this new method is fraction of plant-based nutrition, let alone meats and it is slightly CO2 negative if the electricity is not from CO2 emitting power plants.

    CO2 capture

    CO2 capture can refer to capturing CO2 from an industrial process or just grabbing it from air.

    Hemp tech

    Hemp wood

    From seed to building material in less than a year is a reality in Kentucky as the first HempWood factory has opened. HempWood is said to have slightly better characteristics than oak.
