      Technology is defined as "Technology is a broad concept that deals with human as well as other animal species' usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it affects a species' ability to control and adapt to its environment" Tech. has changed the world with every new invention made. Technology has affected society by developing more advanced economys.
  • Footnotes, invented in about the 12th century, allow tangential information to be displayed outside the linear argument of the main text.

      Footnotes are defined as "a note of text placed at the bottom of a page in a book or document" Footnotes re extremmly usful when you are doing research projects etc. This invention helps out students so much by giving them more information without them having to look it up themselves. This is an example of how a little invention on somthing could make a huge difference
  • Because of new consumer gadgets, community training, peer encouragement and fiendishly clever software, the ease of making video now approaches the ease of writing.

      This is such an interesting comment. However, it is very true. Technology makes it easy for somthing that was once hard...extremelly easy. Peer encouragement makes it easy for others to get comments about what your trying to do. Other peoples thoughts make it easy to make changes to your own invention,

  • For four billion years evolution has been accumulating knowledge in its library of genes. You can learn a lot in four billion years. Every one of the 30 million or so unique species of life on the planet today is an unbroken informational thread that traces back to the very first cell.

      It is amazing to think that the 30 million species of life today began from one single cell. "Geneticist Motoo Kimura estimates that the total genetic information accumulated since the Cambrian explosion 500 million years ago is 10 megabytes per genetic lineage." I could definatly agrre with this theory. The possibilities are endless.
  • The industrial age is nowhere near ending. Its continual expansion permits new post-industrial technologies to expand.

      The Industrial age is continuing to expand. With each year more and more inventions are made changing the world. There will always be technological advances being made no matter how advanced the world gets. This is what technology is all about.
  • This is why the loss of a technology is so rare.

      Each new advance on technology is an advance on the old. Either something is added to it to make it better and more productive or it is changed to meet the needs of whom it's for. The future holds many new technological advances. I look forward to seeing them.

  • Information is, in fact, the fastest growing thing on this planet. Information is especially conducive to amplification and compounding. As the number of facts increase, the connections between facts increases exponentially faster. Because the mathematical law of combinations, the number of links between pages explodes faster than the number of pages increases. New inventions in certain fields like communication, which are powered by increasing combinations of connections, can increase the speed of invention overall, revving the engines of creation.

      I believe this is the main part of the article. information is what gives people ideas for inventions. The spread of information worldwide is important because it keeps everyone on the same page. Without updates on information important documetns wouldnt be up to date.
