What is appropriate technology?
Technology, broadly speaking, can be defined as the tools we use in generating income and meeting our basic human needs – these can include physical equipment and machinery as well as practices and skills. A technology is ‘appropriate’ where it is a suitable tool for the task at hand. Suitability is inherently a matter of context – what is the task, what are the circumstances under which it is being performed – and a large part of context is geography – the nature of a task can change dramatically from one location to another.
