Johann Beckmann bol nemecký vedecký autor, ktorý ako prvý zaviedol slovo „technológia“ na označenie vedy o remeslách. Jeho dielo sa vyznačovalo analytickým prístupom osvietenstva a snahou o systematické skúmanie histórie a súčasného stavu remesiel a výrobných procesov. Beckmannov prístup, inšpirovaný Linnéom a dielami ako Diderotova Encyclopédie, si kládol za cieľ nielen dokumentovať, ale aj inšpirovať k užitočným zlepšeniam. Je považovaný za zakladateľa vedeckej technológie a prvého spoľahlivého historika vynálezov.
