  Coincidentally, both "technology" and "telephone" entered
English around the mid-1800s. And both words derive from the
same language. Which of the following languages do you think
these words come from?

  A. Hindu
  B. Japanese
  C. Greek
  D. German

Answer: 
  Good call if you chose C! "Technology" traces to the Greek
noun "technologia," meaning "systematic treatment of an art."
"Technologia" is a combination of the root words "techne,"
meaning "art, skill," and "logia," meaning "study of."
"Telephone" was invented as a combination of the Greek roots
"tele-," meaning "far off," and "phone," meaning "sound." The
root "tele-" was also used by the French to invent the word
"tilivision." "Television" found its way into English in the
early 1900s, around the time that the earliest television
technology was being developed.
