Non tech? What?
What?
... what?
Excluding manufactured goods from tech just kind of broke my brain for a minute there. I guess "tech" and "technology" are different words now and I just have to accept that.
- wongarsu 7y agoThese are technology, but "company producing technology" wouldn't be a useful definition of tech company because that's close to everyone. I have a feeling that most people would call Philips Hue a Tech product, and if that was Philips only product we would call them a Tech company. For what it's worth I don't think that's good and I prefer to call Slack a software company, Uber a taxi company and WeWork a real estate company.
- jpindar 7y agoApparently they are different words now, at least in this context, and bear no relationship to each other besides etymology. Language evolves, I guess. I dislike this change, since it excludes all the radar systems, jet fighters, lasers and other high technology systems that I've worked on, but there's nothing I can do about it. Oh well.
