'''Technology''' is the application of developments in science and engineering to benefit humanity. In the [[31st century]], [[robots]], who are more advanced than in the [[21st century]], are used for entertainment purposes, work, cooking and cleaning, and companionship. In a thousand years, technology has progressed a lot. As a result, the world of ''[[Futurama]]'' is populated with an amazingly vast array of new gadgets, gizmos, and techniques. Some of them even work &mdash; some of the time.
