Why do we need to study technology/ies?

A practical question needs to be answered practically. Simple, I need to study technology because it is the field of study that I chose since I'm an Information Technology student, it is just understandable that I MUST study this. :)

Kidding aside, when we speak of technology, it is EVERYTHING AROUND ME. It is the thing that wakes me up in the morning, the thing that aids me in making my breakfast. It also helps me to have a sleep at night. Everything around me is technology. Why do I have to study this? It's just that I have to learn something from the THING that helps me go through everyday.
