LOW
TECHNOLOGY
Low technology (low tech; adjective forms: low-technology, low-tech, lo-tech)
simple technology, as opposed to high technology. In addition, low tech is
related to the concept of mid-tech, that is a balance between low-tech and
high-tech, which combines the efficiency and versatility of high tech with
low tech's potential for autonomy and resilience.
