Frequently when discussing technology with colleagues, I often find myself wondering how they are using the word. When someone asks whether a technology will work, are they talking about whether a tool will be useful in a particular application, or whether the technology is mature and able to be used, or whether a doctrinal or organizational change might be in order to solve the problem they are encountering? Depending on the answer, the person could be referring to science, technology, research, development, innovation, or transformation.
