Does this work use technology? How, or how not?
Aeolian Harp
after Aeolus, god of the wind

The field of anthropology defines technology as:
The body of knowledge available to a society that is of use in fashioning implements, practicing manual arts and skills, and extracting or collecting materials.
This definition means that...
Technology will come between (or separate) manual labor and its results.
These tools will still be designed, produced, and controlled by humans somewhere along the line.

Use of technology is not a true/false, but to what degree.
There is no "best place to be" on the Technology Curve– What's the best tool for the job?
