If you don't see the different between software and detergent, I'm not sure I can help you. :) Nearly everything sold involves technology. Tech companies sell the technology more directly, while non-tech companies sell the results of technological processes. Generally speaking, yes, this means that tech companies are mostly computer companies. Even companies that provide SAAS could theoretically also sell that software directly (and often do, to large enough enterprise customers), so they're still software companies. If it weren't for companies muddying the waters while trying to raise large quantities of money, I don't think the distinction would be in any doubt whatsoever.
