We find that imaging equipment that makes tiny things appear big (a microscope) or really far away things appear close (a telescope) uses lenses. There are also new tools that allow looking "into" and "around" things by virtue of fiber optics, and they employ lenses. Industry and medicine have a wide variety of 'scopes to do all kinds of stuff with. Still and moving picture technology still relies on lenses. There are a few more things, lke a simple looking glass, that are or make use of lenses. Oh, and don't forget corrective optics so people can see better. Glasses or contacts are lenses.
The simple answer: the lenses focus the light passing through them so that it magnifies what you see. The lens portion of a microscope works just like a magnifying glass, or the lenses in binoculars or telescopes. They also help focus the light in the same way a person with bad vision uses glasses or contacts, to make the image clearer. Note: there are more parts involved then just the lenses in a microscope. However, I am not an expert and cannot say for certain what all is involved.
A GPS device is an example of a technology used to collect location data.
I'm not sure about all of the inventions but some of the most useful ones include the smoke detector (originally used to detect toxic vapors), satelite TV dishes (developed to reduce noise interference), various fire proof materials and the development of medical internal imaging and of course velcro. Hope it helps.
All lenses refract. You are talking about a diverging lens, which is thinner near the centre than near the rim.

light and the electromagnetic spectrum
Optics is the area of technology associated with lenses of all types. This field focuses on the behavior and properties of light, including how lenses can manipulate light and images. Optics is used in various applications, such as cameras, microscopes, telescopes, and eyeglasses.

All microscopes have lenses. Some types of lenses are eyepiece lenses, objective lenses, and condenser lenses.

There are basically ONLY two types of wireless technology: analog and digital. ALL "wireless" technology is radio technology.

They could be. It all depends on the types of technology or devices.
