  Newton's laws of motion perfectly explain or approximate physical phenomena
in our everyday life. Are there any laws that explain or approximate
technology's rise or fall? After reviewing thirteen information technologies
that succeeded, this article concludes three laws of technology and derives
five corollaries to explain or approximate the rise or fall of technology.
Three laws are the laws of technology inertia, technology change force, and
technology action and reaction. Five corollaries are the corollaries of
measurement of technology change force, technology breakthrough, technology
monopoly, technology openness, and technology business opportunity. I present
how to use the laws and the corollaries to analyze an emerging technology --
the open-source RISC-V processor. Also, I elaborate on benchmarks' role in
applying those laws.
