Morphology
The phrase 'computer technology' is transparently compositional: it denotes technology related to or used for computers, directly derivable from 'computer' and 'technology'. This noun–noun compound follows a common cross-linguistic pattern with no idiomatic shift, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily grasp the meaning.
Etymology
Computer technology joins computer, a machine that does calculations or tasks, and technology, 'tools and methods'. So, the phrase gives the image of the tools and ways we use these machines, which is why it means 'the study, design and use of computers and their systems'.
