And she really should not have been sitting on the floor in a skirt and heels. It wasn't the skirt - she knew how to sit in a skirt for Wenlock's sake! But the heels ... standing up from the floor with heels on was especially challenging. She managed however, smoothing out her skirt once she was standing up.
"Technology comes from the Greek word techne and logia," Hadley began. "When we have a suffix -logy at the end of a word it means the study of. But techne ... any ideas what that means?" No jumping into turning on the computers just yet. They needed some basic knowledge first.
He nodded in agreement with the Professor's comment about how gloomy it was outside. Simon couldn't wait for the weather to pass. He just wanted it to be spring and warmer. Any weather that was slightly warmer would be much appreciated by the boy.
Ohhhhh yes. Please send it our way, okay? Thank you, mister weatherman.
He began jotting down some notes when the Professor began speaking. Where did
techne come from? He raised his hand and took a guess. "
If "-ology" means the study of, then would "techne" mean the ability, skill, or manner by which the something, the study, is gained?" asked the Snake as he thought it through. It made sense to him.
