What about something like "the research, development and application of
appropriate
and effective technology ..."?

And as far as "Technology = Computers", as a past-president of the Division of
Interactive Systems and Computers (DISC), I _never_ assumed or expected that
technology equated computers.  I agree with the individual (I apologize for
have the
name here) who stated that technology is the application of science to the
solution of
problems.  Computers _are_ an example of technology, but so are hammers,
nails, glue,
design doucments, blackboards, nuclear weapons, penicillin and most of the
other things
we all take for granted that exist because someone applied knowledge derived
from
science and research to a "problem".

Just my $.02
