Technology

Technology is the collection of techniques, skills, methods and processes used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation. Technology can be the knowledge of techniques, processes, etc. or it can be embedded in machines, computers, devices and factories, which can be operated by individuals without detailed knowledge of the workings of such things.

The human species' use of technology began with the c

onversion of natural resources into simple tools. The prehistoric discovery of how to control fire and the later Neolithic Revolution increased the available sources of food and the invention of the wheel helped humans to travel in and control their environment. Developments in historic times, including the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet, have lessened physical barriers to communication and allowed humans to interact freely on a global scale. The steady progress of military technologyhas brought weapons of ever-increasing destructive power, from clubs to nuclear weapons.

Technology has many effects. It has helped develop more advanced economies (including today's global economy) and has allowed the rise of a leisure class. Many technological processes produce unwanted by-products, known as pollution, and deplete natural resources, to the detriment of Earth'senvironment. Various implementations of technology influence the values of a society and new technology often raises new ethical questions. Examples include the rise of the notion of efficiency in terms of humanproductivity, a term originally applied only to machines, and the challenge of traditional norms.

Philosophical debates have arisen over the use of technology, with disagreements over whether technology improves the human condition or worsens it. Neo-Luddism,anarcho-primitivism, and similar reactionary movements criticise the pervasiveness of technology in the modern world, arguing that it harms the environment and alienates people; proponents of ideologies such astranshumanism and techno-progressivismview continued technological progress as beneficial to society and the human condition.

Until recently, it was believed that the development of technology was restricted only to human beings, but 21st century scientific studies indicate that other primatesand certain dolphin communities have developed simple tools and passed their knowledge to other generations.

Computers

Sixty-five years ago,scientists called the frist computer 'Baby'.But it was huge.It needed a whole room to itself!A team of people worote three Maths problems and then waited 52 minutes for Baby to find the answer to just one of them.At the time,this was amazing.
Computers are now both much smaller,don't forget your smartphone is a mini comp

uter,and also more pawerful.Ther is more power in a smartpohne than  in all the computers on Apollo 11,the frist spacecraft on the moon!What's more,with new touchscreen technology,soon we won't need extra things like a keyboard or a mouse.So,how will computers change in the futures?A computer's 'brain' is in its chip and in the future  scientists will be  able to save  much more information on this.So,computers will be smaller  and even more powerful and they may even think like humans .In the future,we may not need to  tell computers what to do bascause they might decide for themselves.
FACT!Need a new hip,knee or face?Doctors can now use 3D printers to make some parts of the body.
