>For other uses, see Mascot (disambiguation). A mascot is something, typically an animal or human character used to represent a group with a common public identity, such as a school, professional sports team (the name often corresponds with the mascot), society or corporation. American university and school sports teams are often identified primarily by their mascot. Sports team merchandise often bears the team logo as well as mascot. The team will employ an individual to accompany them to home and away games who dresses up as the creature. See more at Wikipedia.org...

though technology includes psychological and sociological as well as a technical knowledge, a technician is generally someone in a field who has a relatively shallow understanding of the general technical principles compared to experts, but usually more than the average layperson. This middle grade of understanding of theory is generally mastered to allow the technician to become an expert in a specific tool and thus part of a larger process or production.

The concepts of experts and expertise are debated within the field of epistemology under the general heading of expert knowledge. See more at Wikipedia.org...
