Word origin

The term 'tech' originated in the early 20th century as a slang abbreviation for 'technology.' The suffix 'ology' comes from the Greek 'logia,' meaning 'study of.' Technology itself derives from the Greek 'technologia,' which means 'systematic treatment.' Over time, 'tech' became widely adopted in the English language to encompass not just the practical application of knowledge but also the broader implications of digital advancements. The term gained popularity in the late 20th century as personal computers and the internet began to emerge, leading to a rapid transformation in how people interact with technology. As tech continually evolves, it remains a driving force in almost every industry today, from healthcare to education, driving innovation and shaping our daily lives.
