Tech
Based On: Knowledge, Intellect
Using and designing complex mechanical equipment. Actually building items requires crafting. (Fantasy, devices)
Using and designing (not making) complex mechanical or electronic equipment, such as programming and operating computers and manipulating communication devices. (Adventure, tech)
Tech represents an understanding of complex technologies. You can use, design, and even fix technologically advanced equipment and devices, but making or building anything requires additional skill in Crafting.

Technology Level
The description in D6 Adventure suggests that electronic equipment is omitted from the D6 Fantasy skill description. This is likely a matter of tech level; a fantasy setting may have complex mechanical devices but few if any powered by electricity. Nevertheless, a Fantasy character in a setting that includes electronics would still categorize such equipment under Devices.
No Attribute
Tech is a stand-in for the Technical attribute.
Notes
The Demolitions, Security, and Traps skill details technology of the automation or remote operation variety.
