It is not [whether technology is used (or not)] which makes the difference.


This is a cleft construction, where the underlined expression is a relative clause.

The function of "which" is subject of the relative clause, where it refers to the bracketed interrogative clause "whether technology is used or not" (called the 'antecedent').
