The first sentence contains two mistakes

It is missing the word "and" - this is not a list, it's a sentence. The word "and" should be between "systems" and "methods of organization." You can use the word "or" if you want, but there needs to be a conjunction there. And there needs to be a comma after "relation." Here is the corrected sentence:

Technology is the making, modification, usage, and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, crafts, systems, and methods of organization, in order to solve a problem, improve a preexisting solution to a problem, achieve a goal, handle an applied input/output relation, or perform a specific function. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.68.159.221 (talk) 00:03, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

XKCD-related vandalism

Warning, the current XKCD comic is partly generated by using Wikipedia articles ( https://xkcd.com/1193/ ). This is why some IP are modifying article such as this one or Research : they are adding companies names such as "Apple" or "Google" in this article to modify the comic. You will probably have to clean up this article in a few days to check that no random insert is still here. Ksempac (talk) 09:45, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"detriment of the Earth" makes no sense

The third paragraph of the opening blurb says: "Many technological processes produce unwanted by-products, known as pollution, and deplete natural resources, to the detriment of the Earth and its environment" It should be "to the detriment of Earth's environment", as it doesn't affect the Earth itself one iota. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.26.236.107 (talk) 11:18, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

German language version

In German "Technologie" refers to the study or science of technology, not to technology itself. The German term is "Technik". This is also supported by the content of the respective articles. Since this one is locked, please someone do the respective edit. Thanks, 193.197.171.98 (talk) 12:52, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but it looks to me like the article already says "Technik". What exactly are you wanting changed? -- Fyrael (talk) 16:02, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, I did not realize first. Thanks, 193.197.171.98 (talk) 12:04, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
