A very descriptive new term, well at least it’s new to me.

“Technacy is the ability to understand, skillfully apply and communicate creative and ‘balanced’ technological solutions that are based on understanding the contextual factors involved. The Australian meaning of technacy is as a theoretical ‘model’ of technological activity. It implies a deep (critical) knowledge of the nature of technologies as systems, or phenomena or simply as a comprehensive prowess in specific technologies, especially if understood in the context of their application.”Wikipedia article

The descriptive article explains how the term technacy evolved.

Will this spawn new terms such as technative, technation or technability?

Along similar lines is my own  ICTonomy created along the lines of Bloom’s Taxonomy.
