Journey of human finding new technology is over 2 million years old. It is the history of the invention of tools and techniques that humans are to using to protect themself, make there life easy ans comfortable and of course to find out more of it.
Here are some amazing facts about technology:
1st known technology: The wheel
The Mesopotamian civilization is credited with the invention of the wheel by a number of old sources. It is a circular compound that is intended to rotate on an axle bearing. it is useful as it allows heavy objects to be moved easily facilitating movement or transportation while supporting a load, or performing labor in machines.
Invention of the Fire
It was first developed by an ancient spices of humans called Homo Erectus. The ability to control fire was a dramatic change in the habits of early humans. Making fire to generate heat and light made it possible for people to cook food, simultaneously increasing the variety and availability of nutrients and reducing disease by killing pathogenic microorganisms in the food.
Adoption of gunpowder
Gunpowder was invented in China sometime during the first millennium AD. The earliest possible reference to gunpowder appeared in 142 AD during the Eastern Han Dynasty when the alchemist Wei Boyang, also known as the “father of alchemy”,
Invention of Steam engine
The Steam Engine was invented by Thomas Newcomen in 1712. He experimented for 10 years to develop the first truly successful steam engine to drive a pump to remove water from mines.
Invention of Typewriters
Christopher Latham Sholes invented the first typewriter in 1867. Mechanical, electric, and electronic are the three major types of typewriters that were widely introduced in the 19th century. The invention of the typewriter can said to be one of the most important and defining moments of the 19th century.
History of Spacecraft
Spaceflight began in the 20th century following theoretical and practical breakthroughs by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, Robert H. Goddard, and Hermann Oberth. First successful large-scale rocket programs were initiated in the 1920s Germany by Fritz von Opel and Max Valier, and eventually in Nazi Germany by Wernher von Braun. The Soviet Union took the lead in the post-war Space Race, launching the first satellite, the first man and the first woman into orbit.
Invention of 21th century
- Smartphones : We’re practically attached to smartphones, so it’s hard to remember that the first iPhone came out just 15 years ago. Since then, smartphones have become our most prized possessions. They’re our digital assistants, reminding of us of what’s on our agendas today. They’re our cameras, with more photos taken on any given day than in the entirety of pre-smartphone human history. they know about us more then us.
- Social Media : A huge platform to represent an individual or a group.There were social networking sites before the turn of the century, but it’s the ones that exploded on the scene in the early 2000s that became ubiquitous. They connected real life to life online in a way that dominates our culture. When we pull out our smartphones, a great deal of the time we’re checking out what’s happening on social media. At its best, social media allows us to keep in touch with friends scattered all over.
- Cryptocurrency : The goodness is questionable, especially if you lost a lot of money in the latest crypto crash, but the impact is undeniable. Marketed as a decentralized alternative to government-issued fiat currency that puts the power in the hands of the holder, crypto’s widespread adoption has shaken up the financial industry. From the 2009 introduction of Bitcoin to today, more than a fifth of American adults have traded or used cryptocurrency.
- GPS navigators : The global positioning system itself isn’t a 21st-century invention. But until the year 2000, it was controlled by the U.S. military and not publicly available. Now, we’re out there driving or walking around using GPS navigation to find that new restaurant a mile from where we live. Many of us can’t go anywhere without it, and it’s opening up parts of the world that were extremely difficult to explore before. Road trips with a paper map? That’s so 20th century.
invention of AI
Artificial Intelligence is a method of making a computer, a computer-controlled robot, or a software think intelligently like the human mind. AI is accomplished by studying the patterns of the human brain and by analyzing the cognitive process. The outcome of these studies develops intelligent software and systems.
Welcome to ultimate future of technology
Humans would not stop just after receiving such miracles of the technology. We don’t know what upholds for us in future.
