Relate significant events in society to innovations in technology.

Technology where designated to sustain a better life today and mostly in the future. The existences of technology were become massive and as it exists it is very influential that it becomes unstoppable. Before people constructed technology and new innovation has preceded, the background knowledge of people has enabled to create and build new things. Innovations of technology are products of people’s desire in life, growth of economy, needs of the society, and a part of people’s way of living life and also they are develop for military purposes. The productions of technology greatly affect the society in any means like the culture, the tradition, or even the moral ways of an individual.

The development of human society in terms of modernization is pleading. From the time where people dealing with the social evolution from stone age, then followed by iron age, then ancient civilization where the growth of technology where begun adopted as new ways of living and up to this century where many things where constructed and exist. It is rapidly increasing in any area like communication, transportation, agriculture, in civil engineering, computing , in the field of energy, medicine, science, nuclear technology, and also, in the military technology.
Over the past decade until now, agriculture is the very important area in human life and it played a role in the continuous development of human civilization, from the natural way of planting, harvesting, and maintenance of the plants and crops to the modern way of doing those things. There are many ways to maintain and to take care of the plants and crops, the introduction of the machines which may help for harvesting which make the farmers do their job easily, it will help lessen the back-breaking work the farmers undergo before, the technology chemicals like the fertilizers and pesticides to maintain the freshness and to control the pest that may ruin the plants. But somehow we should use it in the proper way; sometimes those chemicals are used to bear fruits even not in their seasonal period. For me, it is not good the proper way of processing and bearing fruit is not that good. Natural ways taste better than with chemicals.

What’s more? The most significant events in innovation of technology, in communication and in computing, are the following: the telephones or the mobile phones, the internet, the World Wide Web and the computers where a part of it. The society named the mobile phones as the ‘always the best way of communication’. And we can’t deny the fact that it is really true. Mobile phones where convenient to use, you can bring it anywhere; you can reach people everywhere, at any given time or place. It can entertain you because it has game console, you can play and watch videos, personalize playlist for your favorite songs, you can socialize people, and it has a lot of features like you can use it in phone calls, text messaging, or chat. The other feature is you can use it as a camera. Also, we have computers which are very helpful in any field, in the area of education, it is really has a place which give students more information and knowledge. In our part, as a student taking the degree like BSIT or BSCS, computer is the primary materials we used to aid us. Computer accompany by the internet which help students in their assignments, or projects, and researches. In the world of business, it help more companies to easily communicate from one parties to another, it help their employee to easy do their work, work to improve the quality of the companies product and services.

Furthermore, in transportation, from the land, the water or the sky, transportation technology is one of the important things in human life. Automobile nowadays is very convenient and some are luxurious. The production is very high and the component where totally well-appointed. From using animals like horse in transportation before into large machines now. The means of transportation now also become huge from small automobiles like motorcycle, car, to the big ones like bus, van, train, ship, and airplanes. You can easily go into places and tour. But automobiles where propelled by gasoline and fuels which contribute the air pollution and it is the one who blamed as contributor to climate change and global warming which someday people where developing and thinking of technologies using water, electricity as replacement of the gasoline that will help the air pollution we encounter today.

The other events where brisk of innovation of technology is in the military area which includes the nuclear technology, air craft, and many others that contribute the existence of it. Loads of machines and devices are created to be used in this area. Also loads of money exists for it. But today, nuclear weapons threaten the survival of life on earth. Right this minute, thousands of nuclear missiles, with firing crews at the ready, are pointing at population centers. How have earthly rulers been “found deficient” with regard to world developments? But, the nations keep spending more and more on armaments. The cost has now risen to about a trillion dollars (U.S.) a year! One source notes that the world spends about 50 times as much money on each soldier as it does on each school-age child. Consider, too, a United Nations report that shows that at least 450 million people throughout the world are hungry, and their numbers are growing. Another report states that “every year 30 to 40 million people starve to death” in underdeveloped lands. It says, too, that about half of those dying are children under the age of five. In view of all of this, an editor wrote in a Cleveland newspaper: “If visitors arrived next week from some distant galaxy, could we tell them we had to kill ourselves in order to establish the superiority of communism or capitalism? Could we explain that we were a species that divided itself into nations, and that those nations were sworn to murder each other in periodic orgies of blood lust? How would we explain that we let some of our species starve and others wallow in degradation and ignorance because the invention of mass death had a greater priority for us? The visitors from that distant galaxy would certainly describe us back home as barbarians. . . . We might protest that we also made great art and believed in justice. They would smile sadly and leave before the explosions.”

In the area of medicine, many existing technology also are introduced that will help people extend and enjoy life. There are thousands of antibiotics, or multivitamins which help to become fat if your obeys if you can afford to expensive treatment there are more that can turn into figure you wants; anti-aging, to look more young; to become taller, if you’re not consistent about your height; to lessen the sugar, cholesterol you have and many others that threatening your lives. Couples that can’t bear child on their own, science can make it possible. Blood transfusion has already an alternative, instead of using blood, there are several liquids use in order to maintain and make use the alternate the blood that has been gone. One of the article I read under the heading of “‘Bloodless’ Surgery,” a man named Maclean’s that the magazine reported that doctors across Canada have been “developing new techniques that, over the past five years, have turned so-called bloodless surgery into a major medical trend.” Brian Muirhead, an anesthesiologist at Winnipeg’s Health Sciences Centre, is one of them. He made an alternative of blood a liquid that can be used ad blood. In 1986, Dr. Muirhead took on the challenge of operating on a 70-year-old man with a bleeding ulcer who had asked for treatment that did not require a blood transfusion. Dr. Muirhead “resorted to a little-used method of pumping saline solution into the patient to keep his blood pressure up,” reported in the article. “The procedure was a success, and it reinforced Muirhead’s growing belief that ‘we were giving too many blood transfusions. I thought it was time to look at alternatives.’” Science is really a mysterious area of them all, the technology produced by this area contributed a lot in terms of health and human lives. It really amazing what the world brought onto us.

Those things are what the intelligence and curiosity of people was made. Because of their interest of what life can do more and try to discover more. Because of the people’s needs and wants also, all those things are constructed and created. It really plays an important role in our life, in our everyday living. Of course those are put up because of the benefits people well owe. And the society now can’t picture out there selves when technologies was not created (even myself can’t picture out things without technology).

Our community today are fully embracing it and afraid to lose it. That’s why people now are depending on it. Even though it plays a very important role in human life somehow it gives effect that may cause life at risk. As what they say if something offers benefits on the contrary it also deals with effects. Like the automobile technology, as I stated above it can cause and contribute to global warming which one of the situation to nature today. Well, we benefits a lot from it, we can’t maybe live without it cause it plays a big role today but maybe somehow we must not ignore the things that some people where trying to manufacture to lessen it. We must give them some time of our attention and try to adopt it. The distraction of nature is held on us, we are accountable to it since we, people, who are the most powerful in this world, who have the control of it may take our responsibility considering the things around us.
