The term 'technology-positive' combines 'technology,' from Greek 'tekhnologia,' meaning 'systematic treatment,' and 'positive,' from Latin 'positivus,' meaning 'definite.'

'Technology' evolved from the Greek 'tekhnologia' to the modern English term, while 'positive' transitioned from Latin 'positivus' through Old French 'positif.'

Initially, 'technology' referred to systematic treatment or study, while 'positive' meant definite or certain. Together, they now imply a favorable stance towards technology.
