plant using industrial robotics technology in Haiphong, Vietnam|243x243px High technology (high tech or high-tech), also known as advanced technology (advanced tech), is technology that is at the cutting edge: the highest form of technology available. It can be defined as either the most complex or the newest technology on the market. The opposite of high tech is low technology, referring to simple, often traditional or mechanical technology. When high tech gets old, it can become low tech–for example, vacuum tube electronics. Further, high tech is also in contrast to the concept of mid-tech, technology at a level between the two opposite extreme qualities of low-tech and high tech. Startups working on high technologies (or developing new high technologies) are sometimes referred to as deep tech; the term may also refer to disruptive innovations or those based on scientific discoveries. High tech, as opposed to high-touch, may refer to self-service experiences that do not require human interaction.
