What is technology?

Kevin Kelly calls technology the ‘infinite game of evolution’ during his TED talk (2006).

Let’s reduce technology as simply World (or multiplicity). And let’s say that World is an existential game that Being plays — a game played by beings using tools that modify various perceived differences through time.

What is technology? Technology and World are forms of consciousness.

I am reminded of the awe-inspiring last line of the film Being There (1979): ‘Life is a state of mind’.
