Science 101, in its third season, features Technium: The Living System of Technology.
In this episode, we explore the idea of the Technium a term popularized by Kevin Kelly describing technology not just as tools, but as an evolving, interconnected system that behaves almost like a living organism. From smartphones and artificial intelligence to global networks and automation, the Technium is constantly growing, adapting, and shaping human behavior. We examine how innovation builds on itself, creating a feedback loop where humans create technology—and technology, in turn, reshape
