Technology
Technology is any tool, innovation or advancement which contributes something of value in terms of life simplification (most commonly automation of manual tasks) or enhancing humans with new abilities which were previously not possible.
Arthur C. Clarke famously said:
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."[1][2]
The joke is that things which are "techie" in nature are "all things considered cool about technology, but in fact quite the opposite" (or another way of putting that is that techies deal in technologies which have either been abandoned by the not yet

Technical Debt
Technical Debt is defined differently depending on the organization/expert you ask, but the underlying commonality is that it represents "a difference between what (i.e. software/hardware) was promised (to users/customers) and what was actually delivered (i.e. incomplete software/hardware with bugs or errors)"[3]
Another way of looking at Technical Debt is anything the hinders the quality, performance or security of your technology (i.e. software/hardware). Such limitations will also limit the speed at which development can happen (and equivalently the "burndown rate" for closing bugs and/or "sprint pace" for adding new features). Business-wise, it makes sense to then tackle and remove Technical Debt as early and often as possible, in order to ensure your teams are operating at full capacity and maximum efficiency. Technical Debt is often the result of shortcuts, workarounds or temporary fixes to meet deadlines, that often never end up getting fixed due to new deadlines coming up and taking priority.
From the Quality Assurance perspective, strict adherence to DevOps' continuous improvement principles would dictate that any single piece of supporting software/hardware that's allowed to become out-of-date is in fact a form of Technical Debt. This means that a software/hardware stack should always be capable of operating with the highest "stable" version number of any dependencies (i.e. libraries, APIs or supporting platforms) in order to have the highest possible quality of software/hardware. This is important because many libraries, APIs or platforms are constantly receiving updates which result in major improvements such as security patches for critical vulnerabilities, user experience simplifications, feature enhancements, and/or performance optimizations.

Big Tech
A term that typically refers derogatorily or disparagingly to FAANGS along with the most dominant players with presences in Silicon Valley like Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, Salesforce, Twitter, Palantir, etc. Often also expands out to the "hipper" or more hyped mid-sized Tech Startups in North America (beyond Silicon Valley). It could include some of the moderate influencer companies like Mozilla, Yahoo, AOL, etc. It can sometimes even more broadly include foreign technology companies like Samsung, LG, Lenovo, Huawei, Xiaomi, Baidu, Tencent (QQ), SoftBank, NTT, Panasonic, SONY, Fujitsu, Fujifilm (Fuji-Xerox), Hitachi, Toshiba, Konica-Minolta, Garmin, Philips, Siemens, Nokia, Canon; and to a far lesser extent some of the older, longer-term tech/electronics players such as 3M, Cisco, Intel, HP, Dell, Acer, etc.
