It's a really strange label. I think most people define it as "Whatever those crazy guys in Silicon Valley are doing/funding," because I can't imagine a world where there exists automotive manufacturing that isn't considered technology.

According to the Oxford dictionary, Technology: The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry. In the formal terms, tech industry is all industry that relies on scientific knowledge to gain leverage. What large industry today doesn't involve using science in some form or the other? Perhaps the industry of religion. It is hard to find one and there is a gradual curve between least scientifically based industry to the most.
