    Well, yes. I'd add a specific feature of infrastructure: its resilience (even in its breakdown) and its tenacity vis-à-vis change and changeability. It has longterm impact which the discourse on technology rather leaves aside.

    Your characterisation of technology as noun or process sounds too simple for me as it allows for products (results) and manufactoring (the processes that lead to the results) but levaes aside standardisation, scientific knowledge, paradigms, etc.

    Cf. @band's characterisation in this thread https://octodon.social/@band/109310373355652501

    As I said before, I find "technology" to be a lesser informative concept, at least compared to "infrastructure" or others.
