The history of technology, it is to inform the students to be aware on how does technology start and how does it evolve through out the years.

2. WHAT IS TECHOLOGY?
• This is the use of scientific knowledge for practical purposes or applications, whether in industry
or in our everyday lives. So, basically, whenever we use our scientific knowledge to achieve some
specific purpose, we’re using technology.
• Techology the application of systematic knowledge toward the development of a device,
machine, or method of making or doing things. The printing press is an example of technology.
The purpose of technology is to meet a human need or solve a human problem
• Technology is the use of knowledge to invent new devices or tools. Throughout history,
technology has made people’s lives easier.

3. HISTORY OF
AGE
The history of
transportation
technology: from ancient
carts and sailboats to
modern automobiles,
trains, and airplanes,
exploring how
innovations in
transportation have
revolutionized global
connectivity and shaped
societies throughout
history.

4. STONE AGE
◦ History of technology began in
◦ approximately 3.3 million years ago
◦ The earliest technology developed by
humans was stone tools. By chipping
away at rocks to make shapes, humans
were able to create the earliest axes,
hammers, knives, and arrowheads. This
marks the beginning of the Stone Age.
The first societies entered the Stone
Age approximately 3.3 million years
ago.

5. IRON AGE
• Iron Age is numerous inventions were made during the
Iron Age. Some of the popular ones were farming tools
like plowshare, coulter, and iron chisel. Steel weapons
and tools were also invented during this time.
• The Iron Age saw the introduction of two very
important tools: the potter’s wheel and the wood pole
lathe. Before the potter’s wheel, people made pottery by
rolling and coiling clay the wheel made the process
faster and more efficient.

6. MIDDLE AGE
• Trade increased as towns began to grow, and
medieval people found more efficient ways of doing
work by inventing new machines.
• The period saw major technological advances,
including the adoption of gunpowder, the invention
of vertical windmills, spectacles, mechanical clocks,
and greatly improved water mills, building
techniques (Gothic architecture, medieval castles),
and agriculture in general (three-field crop rotation).

7. INDUSTRIAL AGE
• The Industrial Revolution was the transition from creating
goods by hand to using machines. Its start and end are widely
debated by scholars, but the period generally spanned from
about 1760 to 1840.
• The Industrial Revolution shifted societies from an agrarian
economy to a manufacturing economy where products were no
longer made solely by hand but by machines. This led to
increased production and efficiency, lower prices, more goods,
improved wages, and migration from rural areas to urban areas.
• The coal-fired steam engine was in many ways the key
technology of the Industrial Revolution. Steam power was first
used to pump water out of coal mines. For centuries, windmills
had been employed in the Netherlands for the roughly similar
operation of draining low-lying flood plains

8. ELECTRONIC AGE
• The Electrical Age could be said to have begun with
Michael Faraday (1791-1867), the friend of Ada Byron
whose discoveries helped pave the way for the electric
motor.
• The electronic age is wha we currently live in. It can be
defined as the time between 1940 and right now.
• Electronic and information technology includes computer
hardware and software, operating systems, web-based
information and applications, telephones and other
telecommunications products, video equipment and
multimedia products, information kiosks, and office
products such as photocopiers and fax machines.
