Difference between technology and technics


Technics, by definition, means the study of an art, or arts generally, especially in terms of mechanical or industrial ones, that is, their technicality. In other words, this term refers to the technical details, rules or methods, if the word is used in plural. If it is in singular, it means theory or the principles of an art. On the other hand, technology refers to the branch of knowledge dealing with the creation and the use of technical means and their connection to life, society and environment. It can also mean the scientific or industrial process, invention or method. To put it differently, it is about the science of the application of knowledge to practical purposes.
