About This Quote
Okay, so this quote is about the world being built on biology. But it's also about creating technology. We are so used to the idea of technology being things like computers, mobile phones, cars, planes and so on that we forget that "technology" is defined as "the application of scientific knowledge to practical ends.” Every time we build something new, we are adding to the technology that underlies our world. Our world is made up of lots of different materials, like iron and wood and stone, but it's also made up of the skills and technologies that people use to create these materials. Without chemistry or physics, no one would ever fashion metal into a house or fashion lumber into lumber for buildings.
