Agricultural technology, particularly advancements in precision farming and biotechnology, most directly aids the survival of an expanding population. These technologies enhance crop yields, improve resource efficiency, and enable the cultivation of diverse food sources in varying climates. Additionally, innovations in irrigation and pest management contribute to sustainable food production, ensuring that the growing population has access to sufficient and nutritious food.

Tough question. Technology can be defined as applied science, so the real question is, "when was the first scientific research and experimentation done?" For recorded history I don't know. But I am sure that early man was inadvertently doing science and technology just to improve his survival rate.
In "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen, man vs. technology is illustrated through the protagonist, Brian, who struggles to survive in the wilderness after a plane crash. The technology of the pilot's aircraft fails him, leading to the crash that leaves him isolated. Throughout the story, Brian must learn to adapt to nature without the reliance on technology, highlighting the tension between human dependence on machines and the raw capabilities of the natural world. Ultimately, Brian's survival depends on his ability to harness his inner strength and ingenuity rather than on technology.
The earliest recorded technology dates back to around 2.5 million years ago with the creation of stone tools by early hominins, such as the Oldowan tools. These simple implements, made by chipping stones to create sharp edges, were crucial for survival, aiding in tasks like cutting and scraping. This foundational technology marked the beginning of human innovation and laid the groundwork for more complex advancements in the millennia that followed.
This question is very broad. Engineers have developed countless technology to ensure a spaceship's survival in space. Its realy too much to list, but basically the goal is to protect a spaceship from the harmful environment of space, weather its radiation, temperature, or debris.

Selection acts directly on individuals within a population, favoring certain traits that increase an individual's survival and reproductive success. This process leads to the differential reproductive success of individuals with advantageous traits, ultimately shaping the genetic makeup of the population.
The survival and recovery of a population depends on a minimum population base referred to as its biotic community.
Water or the lack of it. All humans require FRESH water, if it is not readily available the the population does not survive.

Without technology, humans would not have evolved into what we've become. To primitive man, fire was the technology that was most important. As humans developed and learned to use tools and farm, a larger population was able to be supported. As time moved on, technologies improved,and an even larger population could be sustained. Improving on technologies as humans have evolved is the key to survival of the species.
abiotic resource. Examples include environmental factors like drought, temperature extremes, or pollution that can directly affect the survival or reproduction of a population, leading to a decrease in population size.
Dialysis
There are quite a few biotic factors that affect the size of a population in an ecosystem. Grass is one of these factors.
