Is language a technology or is technology a language? [closed]

Is spoken/written language a technology or is technology a language?

technology means: teckne from the Greek for art ("Techne" is a term, etymologically derived from the Greek word τέχνη, which is art or craft) and logos ( λόγος,in Greek, which has many translations, such as word, reason or plan. It is very complicated by came to mean the logic of an argument.

I do not think that language produced by humans is a technology, except in reference to the Greek. I see nothing artificial about written language....It is an object created by human beings.

Jacques Lacan said that humans are speaking beings, être parlants. And we humans are the only ones who speak, though other mammals communicate through what are essentially codes. They cannot comment on their thoughts. They don't have meta capacity: they can signal, "I am hungry" they cannot comment on that hunger.

We, humans, are the only ones who have access to what the French linguist Ferdinand de Saussure called the double articulation of language. That means the picture of the apple I have in my mind or the word apple I speak is not an actual apple. And it's this double articulation that makes it possible to create so many language acts (speech and writing) and gives humans the capacity to produce meta-language (commenting on the comment, as it were).

Humans produced (or spoke) language first (speech), then found a way to write/record messages in their languages and lastly, chronology-wise, found a way to create mathematical language(s) and lastly (and somewhat recently in historical terms) computer/computing languages, but even those come from human beings, though we often forget that.

Generally speaking, people to tend to view natural languages (what you speak) as "natural" and written languages as more contrived. I would argue that written languages cannot exist or cannot have existed without human speech, or humans who speak/spoke language(s). Human speech preceded writing systems intended to record it.

So, no human language is most definitely not "a technology", unless one sees it as the art of the word. Humans use their language to create technology, technology as we understand all this crap (machine languages and machines that do things for us) we are dealing with today. This is really rather intuitive, I would think.
