IA 1: Introduction IA Part 1 ============================ **Module: I** This course deals with an introduction to the concept of industrial arts. It includes discussions on technology, its evolution, utilization and, significance, with industry, its organization, materials, occupations, processes, and products; and with problems and benefits resulting from the technological nature of society. As an introductory subject, it is designed to develop certain habits, attitudes, and abilities desirable for all the basic knowledge and skills in the areas of automotive, civil, electronics, and electrical technology. **\ ** **MODULE I: INTRODUCTION TO TECHNOLOGY** https://www.mccourier.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/stockvault-person-studying-and-learning-knowledge-concept178241\_0-1.jpeg **Objectives:** At the end of the discussion, the students are expected to: 1. Define the meaning of technology; 2. Identify the history of technology; 3. Enumerate the advantages and disadvantages of technology; and 4. Appreciate the importance of technology in our society. **\ ** **LESSON 1. Evolution of Technology** **History of technology** It is the development over time of **systematic techniques** for making and doing things. The term *technology*, a combination of the **Greek *technē*, "art, craft," with *logos*, "word, speech,"** meant in Greece a discourse on the arts, both fine and applied. When it first appeared in English in the **17th century**, it was used to mean a discussion of the applied arts only, and gradually these "arts" themselves came to be the object of the designation. **By the early 20th century** the term embraced a **growing range of means, processes, and ideas in addition to tools and machines.** By mid-century technology was defined by such phrases as **"the means or activity by which man seeks to change or manipulate his environment."** Even such broad definitions have been criticized by observers who point out the increasing difficulty of distinguishing between scientific inquiry and technological activity. A highly compressed account of the history of technology such as this one must adopt a rigorous methodological pattern if it is to do justice to the subject without grossly distorting it one way or another. The plan followed in the present article is primarily chronological, tracing the development of technology through phases that succeed each other in time. The division between phases is to a large extent arbitrary. One factor in the weighting has been the enormous acceleration of Western technological development in recent centuries; Eastern technology is considered in this article in the main only as it relates to the development of modern technology. **LESSON 2: TECHNOLOGY IN THE ANCIENT WORLD** **The beginnings---Stone Age technology (to c. 3000 BCE)** The identification of the history of [technology](https://www.britannica.com/technology/technology) with the history of humanlike species does not help in fixing a precise point for its origin, because the estimates of pre-historians and anthropologists concerning the emergence of human species vary so widely. Animals occasionally use natural tools such as sticks or stones, and the creatures that became human doubtless did the same for hundreds of millennia before the first giant step of fashioning their [tools](https://www.britannica.com/technology/tool). Even then it was an interminable time before they put such tool making regularly, and still more eons passed as they arrived at the successive stages of standardizing their simple stone choppers and pounders and of manufacturing them---that is, providing sites and assigning specialists to the work.  https://cdn.britannica.com/s:690x388,c:crop/73/91873-050-4B23F18E/stone-tools-edges-point-flakes-method-hammer.jpg [**PALEOLITHIC HAND AXES**](https://cdn.britannica.com/73/91873-050-4B23F18E/stone-tools-edges-point-flakes-method-hammer.jpg) Paleolithic hand axes were teardrop-shaped stone tools **with two sharpened edges** that met at a point. In one method, they were made by roughly chipping away flakes from the edges with a hammer and then sharpening the edges by chipping away smaller flakes. Finally, a pointed stick was used to pry off tiny flakes of stone. (*Encyclopedia Britannica, Inc.)* EARLIEST COMMUNITIES -------------------- For all except for approximately the past 10,000 years, **humans lived almost entirely in small nomadic communities dependent for survival on their skills in gathering food, hunting and fishing, and avoiding predators**. It is reasonable to suppose that most of these communities developed in tropical latitudes, especially in Africa, where climatic conditions are most favorable to a creature with such poor bodily protection as humans have. It is also reasonable to suppose that tribes moved out thence into the subtropical regions and eventually into the landmass of Eurasia, although their colonization of this region must have been severely limited by the successive periods of glaciation, which rendered large parts of it inhospitable and even uninhabitable, even though humankind has shown remarkable versatility in adapting to such unfavorable conditions. LESSON 3: THE [NEOLITHIC](https://www.britannica.com/event/Neolithic) REVOLUTION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Toward the end of the last [ice age](https://www.britannica.com/science/ice-age-geology), some 15,000 to 20,000 years ago, a few of the communities that were most favored by geography and climate began to make the transition from the long period of [Paleolithic](https://www.britannica.com/event/Paleolithic-Period), or [Old Stone Age](https://www.britannica.com/event/Paleolithic-Period), savagery to a more settled way of life depending on [animal husbandry](https://www.britannica.com/science/animal-husbandry) and [agriculture](https://www.britannica.com/topic/agriculture). **This period of transition, the Neolithic Period, or New Stone Age, led eventually to a marked rise in population, to a growth in the size of communities, and the beginnings of town life. It is sometimes referred to as the Neolithic Revolution because the speed of technological [innovation](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/innovation) increased so greatly and the human social and political organization underwent a corresponding increase in complexity.** To understand the beginnings of the technology, it is thus necessary to survey developments from the Old Stone Age through the New Stone Age down to the emergence of the first urban civilizations about 3000 BCE. STONE ----- The material that gives its name and technological unity to these periods of prehistory is stone. Though it may be assumed that primitive humans used other materials such as wood, bone, fur, leaves, and grasses before they mastered the use of stone, apart from bone antlers, presumably used as picks in flint mines and elsewhere, and other fragments of bone implements, none of these has survived. **The stone tools of early humans, on the other hand, have survived in surprising abundance and over the many millennia of prehistory important advances in technology were made in the use of stone.** Stones became tools only **when they were shaped deliberately for specific purposes, and, for this to be done efficiently, suitable hard and fine-grained stones had to be found and means devised for shaping them and particularly for putting a cutting edge on them. ** With the widening mastery of the material world in the Neolithic Period, other substances were brought into services, such as clay for pottery and brick, and increasing competence in handling textile raw materials led to the creation of the first woven fabrics to take the place of animal skins. At the same time, curiosity about the behavior of metallic oxides in the presence of fire promoted one of the most significant technological innovations of all time and marked the succession from the Stone Age to the Metal Age. [**Neolithic cutlery and foodstuffs**](https://cdn.britannica.com/98/214898-050-908FAB51.jpg) Neolithic millstones, charred bread, grains and small apples, a clay cooking pot, and containers made of antlers and wood in the Bern Historical Museum in Switzerland. *© Sandstein (CC BY 3.0)* POWER ----- The use of [fire](https://www.britannica.com/science/fire-combustion) was another basic technique mastered at some unknown time in the Old Stone Age. The discovery that fire could be tamed and controlled and the further discovery that a fire could be generated by persistent friction between two dry wooden surfaces were momentous. The fire was the most important contribution of prehistory to [power](https://www.britannica.com/science/power-physics) technology, although little power was obtained directly from fire except as defense against wild animals. For the most part, prehistoric communities remained completely dependent upon manpower, but, in making the transition to a more settled pattern of life in the New Stone Age, they began to derive some power from animals that had been domesticated. It also seems likely that by the end of prehistoric times the sail had emerged as a means of harnessing the wind for small boats, beginning a long sequence of developments in marine transport. [TOOLS](https://www.britannica.com/technology/tool) AND [WEAPONS](https://www.britannica.com/technology/weapon) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The basic tools of prehistoric peoples were determined by the materials at their disposal. But once they had acquired the techniques of working stone, they were resourceful in devising tools and weapons with points and barbs. Thus, the stone-headed spear, the harpoon, and the arrow all came into widespread use. The [spear](https://www.britannica.com/technology/spear-weapon) was given increased [impetus](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/impetus) by the spear-thrower, a notched pole that gave a sling effect. The [bow and arrow](https://www.britannica.com/technology/bow-and-arrow) were an even more effective combination, the use of which is demonstrated in the earliest "documentary" evidence in the history of technology, the cave paintings of southern France and northern Spain, which depict the bow being used in hunting. The ingenuity of these hunters is also shown in their slings, throwing-sticks (the [boomerang](https://www.britannica.com/technology/boomerang-weaponry) of Australian Aboriginal people is a remarkable surviving example), blowguns, bird snares, fish and animal traps, and nets. These tools did not evolve uniformly, as each [community](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/community) developed only those instruments that were most suitable for its specialized purposes, but all were in use by the end of the Stone Age. Besides, the Neolithic Revolution had contributed some important new tools that were not primarily concerned with hunting. These were the first mechanical applications of rotary action in the shape of the potter's wheel, the bow drill, the pole lathe, and the wheel itself. It is not possible to be sure when these significant devices were invented, but their presence in the early urban civilizations suggests some [continuity](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/continuity) with the late Neolithic Period. The potter's wheel, driven by kicks from the operator, and the wheels of early vehicles both gave continuous rotary movement in one direction. The drill and the lathe, on the other hand, were derived from the bow and had the effect of spinning the drill piece or the workpiece first in one direction and then in the other. **W[OODEN](https://cdn.britannica.com/43/164043-050-ACDF85FF/bow-banks-site-La-Draga-Neolithic-Banyoles-5200-bce.jpg) BOW** Developments in food production brought further refinements in tools. The processes of food production in Paleolithic times were simple, consisting of **[gathering, hunting](https://www.britannica.com/topic/hunter-gatherer)[, and fishing.]** If these methods proved inadequate to sustain a community, it moved to better hunting grounds or perished. With the onset of the Neolithic Revolution, new food-producing skills were devised to serve the needs of agriculture and animal husbandry. Digging sticks and the first crude plows, stone sickles, querns that ground grain by friction between two stones and, most complicated of all, [irrigation](https://www.britannica.com/technology/irrigation) techniques for keeping the ground watered and fertile---all these became well established in the great subtropical river valleys of Egypt and Mesopotamia in the millennia before 3000 BCE. [BUILDING](https://www.britannica.com/technology/construction) TECHNIQUES ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prehistoric building techniques also underwent significant developments in the Neolithic Revolution. Nothing is known of the building ability of Paleolithic peoples beyond what can be inferred from a few fragments of stone shelters, but in the New Stone Age some impressive structures were erected, primarily tombs and burial mounds and other religious edifices, but also, toward the end of the period, domestic housing in which sun-dried brick was first used. In northern Europe, where the Neolithic transformation began later than around the eastern Mediterranean and lasted longer, huge stone monuments, of which [Stonehenge](https://www.britannica.com/topic/Stonehenge) in England is the outstanding example, still bear [eloquent](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/eloquent) testimony to the technical skill, not to mention the imagination and mathematical competence, of the later Stone Age societies. *© shootmybusiness/Shutterstock.com* [**Stonehenge**](https://cdn.britannica.com/05/91205-050-74D20DA8/view-Stonehenge-ruins-stones-arrangement-ways-mystery.jpg) A view from above the ruins of Stonehenge shows the arrangement of its ancient stones. [Manufacturing](https://www.britannica.com/technology/manufacturing) -------------------------------------------------------------------- The manufacturing [industry](https://www.britannica.com/technology/industry) had its origin in the New Stone Age, with the application of techniques for grinding [corn](https://www.britannica.com/plant/corn-plant), baking clay, spinning and weaving [textiles](https://www.britannica.com/topic/textile), and also, it seems likely, for dyeing, fermenting, and distilling. Some evidence for all these processes can be derived from archaeological findings, and some of them at least were developing into specialized crafts by the time the first urban civilizations appeared. In the same way, the early metalworkers were beginning to acquire the techniques of extracting and working the softer metals, [gold](https://www.britannica.com/science/gold-chemical-element), [silver](https://www.britannica.com/science/silver), [copper](https://www.britannica.com/science/copper), and [tin](https://www.britannica.com/science/tin), that were to make their successors a select class of craftsmen. All these [incipient](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/incipient) fields of specialization, moreover, implied developing trade between different communities and regions, and again the archaeological evidence of the transfer of manufactured products in the later Stone Age is impressive. Flint arrowheads of particular types, for example, can be found widely dispersed over Europe, and the [implication](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/implication) of a common locus of manufacture for each is strong. Such transmission suggests improving facilities for transport and communication. Paleolithic people presumably depended entirely on their own feet, and this remained the normal mode of transport throughout the Stone Age. Domestication of the [ox](https://www.britannica.com/animal/ox-mammal-Bos-taurus), the [donkey](https://www.britannica.com/animal/donkey), and the [camel](https://www.britannica.com/animal/camel) undoubtedly brought some help, although difficulties in harnessing the [horse](https://www.britannica.com/animal/horse) long delayed its effective use. The [dugout canoe](https://www.britannica.com/technology/dugout-boat) and the birch-bark canoe demonstrated the potential of water transport, and, again, there is some evidence that the sail had already appeared by the end of the New Stone Age. It is notable that the developments so far described in human prehistory took place over a long period of time, compared with the 5,000 years of recorded history, and that they took place first in very small areas of Earth's surface and involved populations minute by modern [criteria](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/criteria). The Neolithic Revolution occurred first in those parts of the world with an unusual combination of qualities: a warm climate, encouraging rapid crop growth, and an annual cycle of flooding that naturally regenerated the fertility of the land. LESSON 4: A BRIEF HISTORY OF INDUSTRY ------------------------------------- - **1st industrial revolution** -- Steam and water power are used to mechanize production - **2nd industrial revolution** -- Electricity allows for mass production with assembly lines - **3rd industrial revolution** -- IT and computer technology are used to automate processes - **4th industrial revolution (Industry 4.0)** -- Enhancing automation and connectivity with CPS We've followed a sequence of increased automation, and the final development (which is still underway) takes that automation to a whole new level by making use of big data. In terms of the words themselves, [Industry 4.0](https://www.onupkeep.com/learning/maintenance-terms/industry-4-0) refers to the fourth industrial revolution.  [The term was coined in 2011](https://www.smartindustry.com/blog/smart-industry-connect/from-germany-to-the-world-industry-4-0/) to represent the role that **cyber-physical systems (CPS),** **cloud computing, and IIoT (industrial internet of things)** will have on manufacturing processes. This technology's impacts include: - Interoperability - Decentralization of information - Real-time data collection - Heightened flexibility As such, the difference between Industry 3.0 and Industry 4.0 is the presence of new interconnected technologies in plant operations. What is the difference between Industry 3.0 and Industry 4.0? ------------------------------------------------------------- In Industry 3.0, we automate processes using logic processors and information technology. These processes often operate largely without human interference, but there is still a human aspect behind them. Where Industry 4.0 comes in is with the availability and use of vast quantities of data on the production floor. For an example of the old way (Industry 3.0), take a CNC machine: while largely automated, it still needs input from a human controller. The process is automated based on human input, not by data. Under Industry 4.0, that same CNC machine would not only be able to follow set programming parameters but also use data to streamline production processes. What will Industry 4.0 look like? --------------------------------- In terms of maintenance, Industry 4.0 means lots of data can be collected through sensors and used to make decisions about repairs and upkeep.  [Predictive maintenance](https://www.onupkeep.com/learning/maintenance-types/predictive-maintenance) systems are even beginning to implement machine learning to determine when asset failure may be imminent and prescribe [preventive](https://www.onupkeep.com/learning/maintenance-types/preventive-maintenance) measures. Now, this doesn't mean we weren't using data before---we've been gathering data for decades. The difference is simply the sheer volume of data available and the new methods we have for handling it all. IIoT with CPS and cloud-based processes allow us to gather and interpret data in ways that weren't possible before, and the impact of those technologies is being felt in every aspect of manufacturing, from production to maintenance to marketing, and even then on to the final products we create. REASONS THAT DEMONSTRATE THE IMPORTANCE OF TECHNOLOGY IN INDUSTRY ================================================================= Do you ever wonder what makes technology in business so important? The answer is simple and easy. Technology saves your time and effort, and on top of that, it enhances the security of your organization. Numerous factors determine the importance of technology in business because the role it plays is crucial for the operations to run smoothly and efficiently. **The corporate world cannot undermine the [benefits technology provides to businesses](https://readwrite.com/2019/02/07/the-positive-evolution-of-your-business-depends-on-the-tech-revolution/) as most of the tasks nowadays depend on the latest technological equipment. To keep the workflow streamlined, businesses need to implement advanced technology -- tools that tech-developers have designed specifically for [business operations.](https://readwrite.com/2019/04/22/how-to-use-tech-to-lower-your-production-and-operating-costs/)** **Here are 10 reasons that illustrate the fact technology is no longer a want but a need:** **Technology Helps Improve Communication** ------------------------------------------ Nowadays, many companies rely on different applications and [software for communicating](https://readwrite.com/2019/02/06/the-best-indicator-of-a-tech-companys-prowess-it-might-just-be-customer-reviews/) with others. Several technical aspects need to be considered before you choose the way of communication within your organization. For example, if you are looking for instant feedback, you should go for [phone services](https://www.localcabledeals.com/Spectrum/Voice) because they provide the quality voice with consistency as well as feedback. Other ways of communication include video conferencing, Skype, and instant messaging. Effective communication ensures smooth operations and in some cases, a high level of motivation as well. Employees of the organization are well-coordinated and [informed about the tasks](https://readwrite.com/2019/06/13/how-emerging-technologies-are-changing-the-future-of-work/) that they have to perform. Breakdowns in a [communication system](https://readwrite.com/2019/04/22/how-to-use-tech-to-lower-your-production-and-operating-costs/) can cause multiple problems for the employees, which can be harmful to the company. Therefore, you should prepare and preoccupy yourself with contingency plans in case an issue arises in the communication system of the company. **Technology Improves Efficiency** ---------------------------------- There is no denying the fact technology increases the efficiency of the company. The advancements in the world of robotics and applied sciences help businesses facilitate their customers. Moreover, due to the emergence of artificial intelligence, companies can now make better use of technology. For instance, using chat bots as customer representatives to deal with customer queries. The implementation of technology in business [saves time and effort](https://readwrite.com/2019/01/25/5-unexpected-gaming-tech-innovations-improve-your-office/) involved in employing human labor and increases productivity, which is a huge advantage. **Protection Against Attacks** ------------------------------ Online attacks are increasing at an alarming rate, which can prove to be [very risky for businesses.](https://readwrite.com/2019/06/04/the-potential-holy-shit-threats-surrounding-ai-and-ml/) Therefore, developers are designing [cyber-security defense systems](https://readwrite.com/2019/05/24/the-key-to-improving-global-cybersecurity-is-data-science/) to protect companies from dangerous threats. Since this is an era of cloud computing, the threat of cyber-attack remains persistent. So, companies need to [protect their data](https://readwrite.com/2019/01/08/security-teams-need-to-be-prepared-with-an-incident-response-plan/) by enhancing the [security of their online accounts](https://readwrite.com/2019/05/23/secrets-of-financial-applications-traits-of-fintech-apps/) that contain important information and data. **Employees Need Technology to Work Efficiently** ------------------------------------------------- The role of technology in business is expanding at a breakneck pace. Employees also expect their supervisors to provide them with the[ latest equipment](https://readwrite.com/2019/02/22/6-tips-on-finding-and-hiring-freelancers-for-your-small-business/) so that they can work effectively as well as efficiently. Moreover, the most recent technological equipment enabled the [employees to complete their tasks](https://readwrite.com/2019/06/13/how-emerging-technologies-are-changing-the-future-of-work/) with better results and increased productivity successfully. **Unlimited Supply of Knowledge** --------------------------------- With technology, **there is no limit as to what you can achieve and accomplish.** It provides an **endless supply of knowledge and [valuable insights](https://readwrite.com/2019/06/13/how-can-big-data-benefit-marketers/)**. Conducting research has never been easier because you can instantly access the [websites and search f](https://readwrite.com/2019/03/23/live-long-and-prosper-tech-can-ensure-we-do/)or the things you are looking for. Having valuable insights puts you in a better position to deal with your customers. You are well prepared to meet their demands. Apart from that, technology helps you keep a close eye on your competitors. Stay aware of their moves and take necessary preemptive measures to adopt the latest market trends. **Increased Employee Engagement** --------------------------------- Technology is well-known for keeping employees engaged. **It allows them to telecommute to work and encourages them to collaborate for sharing files and essential information.** In addition to this, technology **also reduces the level of stress**. Workload decreases when the assigned tasks are completed in the given time. Employees can also enjoy flexibility to a certain degree. They can stay connected to the organization via smartphones etc. and perform work-related tasks remotely. **Explore New Markets for Growth** ---------------------------------- With the implementation of the latest technological equipment, **businesses can explore tons of new markets to expand their operations and profitability**. Technology can help in this regard by conducting complex calculations and forecasts with authentic results. **[Authentic results](https://readwrite.com/2019/05/08/the-cloud-based-companys-4-step-guide-to-mobile-device-management/) provide a better picture of management,** enabling them to decide whether to go ahead with the plan or not. Moreover, technology is advancing with new gadgets being introduced in the market every other day. Companies can take advantage of this **progression by implementing relevant technological gadgets**. These gadgets can assist them in their operations, leading to better productivity and growth. **Technology in Business is Necessary for Expansion** ----------------------------------------------------- Through automation and artificial intelligence, **technology has become the most crucial factor behind the success of every organization**. Although it is a big-ticket in terms of money, the value it provides ultimately outweighs the high cost. **Moreover, the use of the latest technology gives the company a competitive edge,** which makes it a better organization than the rest of the competitors in the market. This improves the overall reputation of the brand and enhances its perception among the consumers, which is vital for expansion. 9\. **Technology Increases the Capacity of the Business** **Technology enables businesses to reach more customers in less time than usual**. This means they will be able to serve more customers than before. In addition to this, companies can easily coordinate with the suppliers when they need supplies to restore their inventory. The capacity to communicate and store information increases with technology, which is a huge advantage for large corporations. **Technology Brings Crypto currency into Being** ------------------------------------------------ The technology of [Blockchain](https://readwrite.com/2019/07/02/blockchain-trends-that-everyone-should-watch-out-for-2019/) has enabled crypto currency to come into existence. Bitcoin is by far the most [popular crypto currency](https://readwrite.com/2019/03/29/10-years-after-bitcoin-began-are-we-underestimating-crypto/) available in the digital market. Just like the US dollar, crypto currency is also a medium of exchange. However, it is digital and encrypted to control the creation of multiple monetary units. This particular technology has enabled businesses from all over the globe to make safe and secure payments with full-fledged records. In simple terms, [Blockchain is a digital ledger](https://readwrite.com/2019/04/10/as-digital-identities-evolve-data-security-should-too/) that maintains all the transaction records so that you know when and where your money is being transferred online. ### First Industrial Revolution ( 1600-1820s) During the first industrial revolution, numerous inventions were unveiled. Minerals like Coal were used to generate much of the energy for the industry.  The industrial revolution began with the textile industry, manufacturing processes were transformed from hand to hand to machine production. Steam-powered locomotives accelerated mobility and introduced railway transportation. ### Evolution of Technology in Communication ( 1831)  The big change in technology started in 1831 when the electric telegraph was invented. In the 19th century revelation was with the hand of electrical engineering. Because of that, digital methods have the main tools of business, communication, education and many more.   In the early 1820s, the invention of the photographic camera by "Joseph Nicéphore Niépce" demonstrated a new approach in optical technology. The invention of photography revolutionized culture and communication in society.   ### The invention of the Automobile (1880) The invention of the automobile is widely considered as one of the key technological discoveries in the course of human history. The first automobile was powered by an internal combustion engine. Automobiles have influenced the social, cultural, and economic perspectives since then.  ### The invention of the Telephone (1849) Techphone was invented in 1849, it was the mainstream of the business, office for those who have luxurious option was at home. It has taken almost 50 years to develop the telephone.  One of the biggest turning points in the world of technology was when the first kick start gave Motorola in 1973 by creating the first phone. Motorola has created a chain to further. From  Mobile phones have changed the whole world.  The smartphone area has started with the hand of Steve Jobs with the innovation of Apple. Day after day the smartphone industry is continuously changing the game of the smart area.  ### Second Industrial Revolution ( 1860-1930) During the period of the second industrial revolution new industries emerged, mass manufacturing revolutionized industrial production. It paved the way for rapid industrialization. Numerous technological developments in steel, petroleum, chemical, and electrical industries were conducted. ### The invention of Airplanes (1904) Humans have always dreamed of flying in the sky. When Wright brothers flew the first airplane in 1905 then later on notable technological advancement was seen in the aerospace industry. Airplanes have enabled us to fly to places that couldn't be done before.  ### The invention of the Computer (1930) What started as a calculative device is now known to be a major discovery in modern human civilization. Since the introduction of the very first computing device "ENIAC", the computer industry has gone through revolutionary technological advancements. Computers can perform multiple tasks at a time. Supercomputers have the ability to perform complex and critical operations within seconds. Future trends of Technological Evolution ---------------------------------------- The legacy of technological evolution has been seen as no bounds in the 20th century. Technology is now getting more sophisticated and more advanced than their previous generations. The evolution of technology from the early prehistoric period until the modern age is driving the possibilities to set-up a knowledge-based society. Technology has ensured sustainable development from the economy to education and healthcare. New technological breakthroughs are the forerunner of today's modern era. People are adapting up-to-date technologies to improve their daily lifestyle, something they just couldn't live without. All of this is now possible due to technological evolution. **Here are some of the latest trends in the technology of the future.** #### Internet -- (1974) Internet communication has had a revolutionary impact since the mid-19th century in 1974.  The Internet means to be connected. It has turned the world into a global village. T Thanks to internet technology, people now can communicate with others from anywhere in the world. The Internet is leading globalization. Because of the internet various new businesses have risen and ideas have been created still now on.  ### Industry 4.0 The motto of the 4th industrial revolution is "digitalization". In the 21st century, smart factories have emerged, these factories are highly automated and technologically superior.  ### **Artificial intelligence ( 2017)** Artificial intelligence (AI) will work like humans and animals which will understand emotion. However, it is still in the childbirth position. In 2017 AlphaGo team announced that it will be world grates Go, player, all the time as it has AI.  ### 5G Networks (2019) 5G will provide superfast internet bandwidth. 5G will enable the users to download large files from the internet within seconds(up to 10 gigabytes/ seconds!). 5G uses fifth-generation cellular networking technology. ### Unmanned Autonomous Vehicle In the near future vehicles will be driving on their own. Autonomous technology and AI will let the vehicle make decisions and assist in driving without breaking any traffic laws and avoid accidents.  ### Additive Manufacturing The slogan of additive manufacturing is "democratizing technology". People now can manufacture and design products at home only by using a 3D printer. ### Virtual reality Virtual reality seems like a technology that comes straight from science fiction. Virtual reality creates a simulated environment that may be similar or completely different from the real world. It can be used for training, entertainment, and education purposes. Technology is what we live in and we can't deny how long we have gone so far only because of technological advancement. Technology is now our day-to-day expectancy.  ### Evolution of Technology in Education and Classroom  Education and technology have working hand in hand scene blackboards to the computer area.
