			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A very descriptive new term, well at least it&#8217;s new to me.</p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;Technacy</strong> is the ability to understand, skillfully apply and communicate creative and &#8216;balanced&#8217; technological solutions that are based on understanding the contextual factors involved. The Australian meaning of technacy is as a theoretical &#8216;model&#8217; 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.&#8221;</em> &#8211; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technacy" target="_blank">Wikipedia article</a></p>
<p>The descriptive article explains how the term technacy evolved.</p>
<p>Will this spawn new terms such as technative, technation or technability?</p>
<p>Along similar lines is my own <a href="http://www.edugator.net.au/PD/ictonomy.html" target="_blank"> ICTonomy</a> created along the lines of Bloom&#8217;s Taxonomy.</p>
