Presents the current environmental problems facing the globalization, integration, and the limit of high technology and so on, we can not help but reflect on: what is the cause of the frequent environmental crises? Since the human self into the industrial society, accompanied by the rapid progress of science and technology, acceleration of the trend in the economy to move forward…Bring people to enjoy high-tech material is extremely rich in achievements, but also step by step into the technological development of hidden traps: environmental issues are emerging, widespread loss of humanism, social development can not be sustained, these are caused by technological development non-ecological effects. Therefore, it is easy to see that technology and its development is caused by an important cause of environmental problems. Technology subject is people, technology development is derived from the human needs, and its goal is to achieve human development. Unreasonable because of human development on the technology and application of technology tools to the growing rational expansion of technology becoming more and more people out of their own development needs, and sometimes deviate from this direction. Frequent environmental issues wake-up call humanity: humanity is to survive and development, we must change the direction of technology development. Technology development by innovation, but now does not change the tradition of technological innovation and technological development orientation, to some extent also aggravated by non-ecological effect. In order to coordinate the relationship between man and nature, and promote sustainable economic and social development, we must change the traditional technology development. Thus, technology began to provide ecological out.Technical ecology refers to the eco-technological change, is a trend of technological development. It will introduce ecological technology, aimed at protecting the environment, man and nature, man and society more harmonious and orderly manner. Implementation technology eco does not mean that environmental problems to solve, and environmental problems for many reasons, technology is only one important factor, technology eco-environmental issues into the settlement provides a perspective. Change the direction of current technology, so that ecological development technology into the track, this could reduce technical's non-ecological effects, it can relieve the contradiction between man and nature, thus facilitating the construction of ecological civilization.How to implement technology ecology? This is an important and urgent task. The emergence and development of technology from the history of the whole process, we can see that social factors play a leading role. Even what kind of society, what kind of technology will generate. Social, political, economic, cultural and other factors will influence the technology development and promotion. Therefore, we study the technology can not be divorced from the social environment. On the relationship between technology and society, theorists have proposed "Social Construction of Technology" theory. "Social Construction of Technology" idea from a sociological point of view of technology, then come the development of technical activities and social interaction patterns. The social construction of technology is still confined to research the relationship between the level of technology and society, on social factors play important roles in the technology but little studied. Ecology-oriented technology not only to discuss the social construction of technology and society of the relationship between ecological, technical and further study of the social ecology Construction Principles, mechanisms and approaches, etc., not only enriched the contents of social construction, for technology-oriented implementation provides ecological the alternatives.
