What is the relationship of technology to the information system architecture?

What will be an ideal response?

Technology provides the primary framework for the architecture of information systems. A set of forces compete and cooperate to change the architecture of an information system far beyond the vision of the original architects. The architecture of an information system is made possible and constrained by the information technology. Hence, technology is the primary force of architectural change.
The effects of technology are both direct and indirect. A successful technology has a "ripple effect" that is either not foreseen when it is introduced or is understood only dimly. First, we "discover" that a new technology, created in the hope of solving a specific set of problems, holds the promise of solving other problems. Then we set out to create the missing pieces that would allow the technology to realize its perceived potential. In turn, some of these new pieces create ripple effects of their own, and so on.
