Aparoksha is a Sanskrit adjective that highlights perception. It refers to the intuitive expertise - one of the seven stages of knowledge. Apparently, Technology is a direct consequence of imagination, perception. Where Technology fostered several miraculous breakthroughs in various influential zones of society, there Imagination has brought mankind through the Dark Ages to its present state of civilization. Whether it is Kekule who dreamt about a benzene structure or Wright brothers who invented aeroplane, every paragon is beneficence of imagination of an erudite.
