Morphology

technologize = technology (transparent) = technology + ize

Formed by adding the productive verb-forming suffix '-ize' to the familiar noun 'technology', yielding a meaning 'to make or treat in technological terms' that is directly predictable.

Etymology

Technologize comes from technology, whose old Greek root means 'skill' or 'craft', and the ending -ize which means 'to make'. So, to technologize something in this sense is to treat it mostly as a technical matter or to make it all about technology.
