In this era of globalization, of course, we are no strangers to the word technology. Well why not, there are so many types of technology that we can feel today. Technology in the field of transportation we can see there are airplanes, trains, cars, and motorcycles. Mobile technology such as laptops and mobile phones, even every type of technology consists of various variations.
What’s Technology?
Of course, the presence of technology today cannot be separated from its development from century to century. Speaking of technology, what exactly is the meaning of technology itself? Simply put, walking is replaced with a bicycle called technology. Eating using your hands replaced with a spoon is called technology.
Well so in simple terms the technologies is any form of equipment that can facilitate human activities. However, the presence of technology adapts to human needs, the conditions of the times, and adequate human resources (HR). Like in ancient times, cutting aids are sharp stones, while now they have been replaced with knives.
When was the birth of technology? Has it been since prehistoric times?
Well it can be said that technologies has existed since prehistoric times where humans have not known writing. Technology was born out of thin air through human initiative to create something that could help his work. In prehistoric times, humans discovered stone as their technology. Well how about it, you didn’t expect it, right?
Stone that we currently consider as a material for house building, it turns out that humans used stone to help everyday life. Stones that are large enough they make hammers, pointed stones they make spears, and stones with sharp edges are used as knives.
Technological development continues, about 20 thousand years ago manusia began to think about turning their hunting habits into farming. They have started living in groups, making bricks, and making clothes from woven fabrics. Well so we can see that technologies is slowly starting to be discovered and developed.
The Cool Technology in the Age After Prehistory
Human needs certainly continue to grow, ranging from feeling the need for shelter, transportation, and feeling the importance of understanding each other’s language. Because of this impulse, the beginning of man made buildings, ships, and writings. In the past there were no pens and buku yah guys well, so write on the leaves or make scratches on the stone or wall.
From the 5th to 15th centuries AD, technologies began to develop faster. Well maybe with the writing, humans can more easily innovate well guys yah. Humans today are already good at art, such as relics of inscriptions and temples. Amazingly, humans are very intelligent by finding mathematical and physical formulas whose science we still use today. Wow, it’s amazing, isn’t it?
Technological Developments Now Cannot Be Separated from Previous Discoveries
The cool thing is that the technologies continues to develop and even the legacies of sciences such as mathematics, physics, chemistry that we use today. For example, applying physics in making electrical circuits. It’s all a very beautiful technological invention, right?
In 1765, James Watt invented condenser technologies, so that steam could become water again. He continued to develop the steam to drive the piston, then formed a steam engine. Does it stop there? Oh no, in the 1800s steam machine were developed again by Jamess Watt to make railway locomotives.
Wow, it’s so steady, isn’t it? The steam engine was developed by Robert Fulton in 1807 into a steamship. Well right now, what does the Akita bus get? Well now we get the development of steam trains, into electric trains and even super-fast trains that are so sophisticated. So, it could be that technology will now look old-school in the next hundreds of years.
