Clothing, adapted from the fur and hides of hunted animals, helped humanity expand into colder regions; humans began to migrate out of Africa by 200,000 B.C.E. and into other continents, such as Eurasia. The use of tools by early humans was partly a process of discovery, partly of evolution. Early humans evolved from a race of foraging hominids which were already bipedal, with a brain mass approximately one third that of modern humans.

Communication improved with the invention of the telegraph, the telephone, the radio, and television. While technology contributes to economic development and human prosperity, it can also have negative impacts like pollution or resource depletion, or cause social harms like technological unemployment caused by automation. As a result, philosophical and political debates have arisen over the role and use of technology, the ethics of technology, and the mitigation of technology’s potential downsides. Historical and contemporary movements like neo-Luddism and anarcho-primitivism criticize technology’s pervasiveness, while adherents to transhumanism and techno-progressivism actively support technological change, viewing it as emancipatory.

Learn more about the Art Harper Saturday Academy, a multi-year program designed to inspire and prepare local high school students to pursue post-secondary education and careers in STEM-related fields. The Department of Biosystems Engineering focuses on the application of technology for the production of agricultural materials and products as well as natural labor in the environment and agricultural production systems and agricultural production processes. Food Technology Department has collaborated with the Business and Industry World and related Professional Associations in the learning process. Florida Tech’s approach to academics is research-driven, high-tech and hands-on, allowing our students to both gain knowledge and get real experience applying it. Similarly, the early peoples of Mesopotamia, the Sumerians, learned to use the Tigris and Euphrates rivers for much the same purposes. But more extensive use of wind and water power required another invention.

Initially, technology was seen as an extension of the human organism that replicated or amplified bodily and mental faculties. New analysis by the McKinsey Technology Council highlights the development, possible uses, and industry effects of advanced technologies. The IEEE EAB seeks qualified professionals from industry, government, and academia to serve as evaluators for accrediting engineering and engineering technology programs. IEEE and its members inspire a global community through highly-cited publications, conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities.

In 1979, an average of one in three patents granted in the U.S. cited the scientific literature; by 1989, this increased to an average of one citation per patent. The average was skewed upwards by patents related to the pharmaceutical industry, chemistry, and electronics. A 2021 analysis shows that patents that are based on scientific discoveries are on average 26% more valuable than equivalent non-science-based patents.

The term was previously uncommon in English and mostly referred to the academic discipline, as in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This interactive was designed, developed, and edited by McKinsey Global Publishing’s Nayomi Chibana, Zachary Enco, Richard Johnson, Stephen Landau, LaShon Malone, Kanika Punwani, and Josh Rosenfield. The associations shown on the industry heat map were derived by reviewing the news reports on each trend for references to specific companies within each of the 20 industries.

Technologies have contributed to human welfare through increased prosperity, improved comfort and quality of life, and medical progress, but they can also disrupt existing social hierarchies, cause pollution, and harm individuals or groups. It did not take long to discover that wheeled wagons could be used to carry heavy loads. The ancient Sumerians used a potter’s wheel and may have invented it. A stone pottery wheel found in the city-state of Ur dates to around 3,429 BCE, and even older fragments of wheel-thrown pottery have been found in the same area.
