*1 : a specialist in the technical details of a subject or occupation <a computer technician>
*2 : one who has acquired the [[technique]] of an [[art]] or other area of specialization <a superb technician and a musician of [[integrity]] — Irving Kolodin>
==Description==
A '''technician''' is generally someone in a [[technological]] field who has a [[relatively]] [[practical]] [[understanding]] of the general [[theoretical]] principles of that field, e.g., as compared to an engineer in that field. They are generally much more versed in [[technique]] compared to the average layman, or even the [[professional]] in that field. A mid-level of [[understanding]] of [[theory]], and a high-level of [[technique]], is generally mastered by the technician in order to become expert in a specific [[tool]] [[domain]]. This may be part of a larger (production) [[process]]. Hence, an audio technician, while not as learned in [[acoustics]] as a [[physicist]] or an acoustical engineer, will generally know more than other studio personnel, including performers, and will be able to operate [[design]]ed [[sound]] equipment. Technicians may be [[classified]] as either skilled workers or semi-skilled workers.
Technicians may be found working in a [[variety]] of fields, and they usually have a job title with the designation 'technician' following the particular category of [[work]]. Thus a '[[stage]] technician' is a worker who provides technical support for putting on a [[play]], while a 'medical technician' is an employee who provides technical [[support]] in the medical industry or to the medical [[profession]].
