New Technology

is the application of conceptual knowledge to achieve practical goals, especially in a reproducible way.

The word technology can also mean the products resulting from such efforts. including both tangible tools such as utensils or machines and intangible ones such as software.

The earliest known technology is the stone tool, used during prehistory, followed by the control of fire—which in turn contributed to the growth of the human brain and the development of language during the Ice Age, according to the cooking hypothesis.

In the Bronze Age, the wheel was made, which made it possible to travel further and make machines that were more complicated.

The printing press, the telephone, and the Internet are just a few recent technological innovations that have helped usher in the knowledge economy and reduced communication barriers.

While technology contributes to economic development and improves human prosperity, it can also have negative impacts like pollution and resource depletion and can cause social harms like technological unemployment resulting from automation.

Mr how 88

As a result, philosophical and political debates about the role and use of technology, the ethics of technology, and ways to mitigate its downsides are ongoing.

Etymology Technology is a term dating back to the early 17th century that meant 'systematic treatment' (from Greek Τεχνολογία, from the Greek τέχνη, romanized technetium, lit. 'craft, art technology 'study, knowledge').

Mr how 88

It is predated in use by the Ancient Greek word technology used to mean 'knowledge of how to make things,' which encompassed activities like architecture. Starting in the 19th century, continental Europeans started using the terms .

Technic (German) or technique (French) to refer to a 'way of doing,' which included all technical arts, such as dancing, navigation, or printing, whether or not they required tools or instruments.

At the time, technologies (German and French) referred either to the academic discipline studying the "methods of arts and crafts" or to the political discipline "intended to legislate on the functions of the arts and crafts."

Mr how 88

The distinction between Technical and Technologies is absent in English, and so both were translated as technology. The term was

previously uncommon in English and mostly referred to the academic discipline, as in the Massachusetts Institute of

Technology

Technology. In the 20th century, as a result of scientific progress and the Second Industrial Revolution, technology stopped being considered a distinct academic discipline and took on the meaning: the systemic use of knowledge to practical ends.

History

Around 2 Mya (million years ago), they learned to make the first stone tools by hammering flakes off a pebble, forming a sharp hand axe.

This practice was refined 75 kya (thousand years ago) into pressure flaking, enabling much finer work.

Discovery

The discovery of fire was described by Charles Darwin as "possibly the greatest ever made by man."

Archaeological, dietary, and social evidence points to "continuous [human] fire use" at least 1.5 Mya. Fire, fueled with wood and charcoal, allowed early humans to cook their food to increase its digestibility, improving its nutrient value and broadening the number of foods that could be eaten.

Mr how 88

The cooking hypothesis proposes that the ability to cook promoted an increase in hominid brain size, though some researchers find the evidence inconclusive.

Archaeological evidence of hearths was dated to 790 kya; researchers believe this is likely to have intensified human socialization and may have contributed to the emergence of langua Other technological advances made during the Paleolithic era include clothing and shelter.

Mr how 88

No consensus exists on the approximate time of adoption of either technology, but archaeologists have found archaeological evidence of clothing 90-120 kya. and shelter 450 kya.

As the Paleolithic era progressed, dwellings became more sophisticated and more elaborate; as early as 380 kya, humans were constructing temporary wood huts.

Clothing

Clothing, adapted from the fur and hides of hunted animals.

Help

helped humanity expand into colder regions;

humans began to migrate out of

Africa around 200 kya,

initially moving to Eurasia.
