We seem to forget that the Greek techne (τέχνη) means "art," "craft," or "skill." In ancient Greece, techne referred to the knowledge of how to make or do something— and I think ultimately technology is a subset of techne. Techne is who we’ve always been. Space infrastructure, flying cars, and new AI models - maybe aren’t futuristic technologies, but rather as inevitable tributaries in the river of techne and humanity over time

You should read Heidegger’s essay on science and technology for this He interprets techne as “something that is brought forth or revealed”
