They're undoubtedly technologies, but I don't think that in practice people would call those industries part of "tech".
The whole "tech" label needs to die as it's overstayed its welcome and now just funnels engineers towards narrower and narrower segments of the economy where the benefits are less and less clear.
If you estimate the "tech-iness" of a domain by the depth of the tech tree or the "height" of the leaves people are working on, most "tech" work these days is working on CRUD apps based on a 20-ish (?) year old paradigm. It's hardly cutting edge, and probably isn't the most deserving of the label.
- waheoo 6y agoHomeware companies refer to their technology divisions all the time. What you're calling "tech" the rest of the world calls "I.T."
- davidivadavid 6y agoI wouldn't mind that re-labeling.
- Doxin 6y ago"tech" is short for technology.[1] So yes, any technology is tech. Of course you might want to define tech differently in which case it might be helpful if you're explicit in what you understand "tech" to be.
