History of Technology

Introduction

This will teach you how much has happened in the world of technology. Technology is the use of knowlage to help solve a problem, or a machine created to help complete a task. What I am trying to say is a shield is a past piece of technology that was modern, so is the light bulb. 

Task

TASK:

         I want you to find the oldest form of technology and what is was used for and how it impacted our society today, like advancements that have been made on it or how it is still used. You can use this conveniantly placed link to help you. http://www.uh.edu/engines/epi1559.htm . I want you to write a three to five sentance paragraph explaining this and all it has acomplished.

Process

1:   Find your favorite piece of technolgy and find the piece of tech it was based off of. The options you don't use but you should and the future versions that could come out. You can use any source you want and there is no specific sentance limit you just have to awnser the process

2:   Look at the Flintstones and the Jetsons, they both have state of the art technology in their time. Find similarities between them and the differences by creating a venn diagram or anything like that. You need to find atleast 5 differences and 5 similarities between the tech they have like design or concept of their technology. Than tell me which was easier to find.

3   Our time is, perhaps, the quickest science discovering time yet so check out some ideas we have come up with to solve problems. great ideas come from somewhere but I want you to check out some fictional tools that are actually real. If you are having trouble try comics or movies that could help like iron man, batman or star wars and see how much we actually have.
