How to translate "technology"?

Question

How should one translate "technology"?

E.g. in the introduction to a beginner's programming tutorial:

We hope that we'll be able to make you love technology as much as we do!

ReVo doesn't seem to have a translation, and Google translate suggests "teknologio". Though I wonder whether other terms are more appropriate when referring more to the abstract concept (all that technical stuff surrounding us and whatever powers them) rather than the scientific discipline.

Maybe any of these? (Made up on the spot by composing appropriate-seeming affixes to "teĥnik/o"):

• teĥnikaĵo
• teĥnikeco (Though I think this would instead be "technicity" / "technicality".)
• teĥnikio
• teĥnikiko (Though this would probably again refer specifically to science, I guess? Also, is the "-ik-ik-" redundant or is the first "ik" part of the root?)
• teĥnikumo (Well, that can probably kinda mean anything, can't it?)

Answer 1

Technology often is a hyperbole (exaggeration) for technique (technical mean). The ReVo definition is apt.

Hence possible are:

• teĥnikoj
• teĥnologio(hyperbolic usage in E-o)
• teĥnikaro

Answer 2

I think teĥnologio/teknologio works fine here. See the definition in ReVo:

Tuto de formalaj metodoj kaj rimedoj dediĉitaj al iu celo kaj maŝine aŭ industrie realigeblaj

with this example sentence:

Memkompreneble la komisiito de Monato tre konvinke kunĵuris pri satelita taŭgeco, kvankam li, honeste dirate, tute ne posedas satelitricevilon, sed sendispute tiu teĥnologio vere estas liverinta al ni perfektan Esperanto-programon en la tuta Eŭropo.

That seems to have the meaning you want. Maybe you could add aĵ to indicate that you're talking about a concrete result of the scientific methods, so teĥnologiaĵo. This of course depends on whether the sentence you provide means to refer to the scientific methods or the results thereof. I am not getting any hits for te[kĥ]nologiaĵ in Tekstaro though.
