The Technium: Major Transitions in Technology - 0 views

    • Ashley Zielinski
       
      It is important to notice that the inventions that people come up with are no longer the most important aspect. It really is the way that those inventions are now able to adapt to the new technology out there. When these new inventions are able to adapt, new ideas are then proposed and the structure of information is now radically reshaped. Although the inventions should still be highly recognized, society now has to be able to take all of those inventions and alter them to the constantly changing society.
  • The major transitions in their histories are passages from one level of informational organization to another emergent level of order. Rather than catalog important inventions such as iron, steam power, or electricity, it is far more useful to dwell on how the structure of information is reshaped by new technology.

      Tehnology has become so advanced in the on coming years that it is hard to keep ontop pf what is occurring in the world. We no longer need to catalog important inventions, but rather how the world reacts to the newest inventions. Technology is over taking the world, and is changing lives everyday. We must focus on how we handle these new additions to life and adapt instead of documenting the dates of the new inventions.

      When people get info then tend to pass the info on to another person. That is the same way when people learn about technology, is that they way to pass the word on to let other sknow about the new technology. As the info gets passed on, the meaning of what is trying to be said might get lost in translation. Everyone always wants to know about the newest and latest technology out on the market.
  • No transition has affected our species, or the world at large, more than the creation of language. Indeed many would define humanity by its possession of true language.

      Language is the base of all mankind. It is the way we interact as well as communicate. Without language, there wouldn't even be a thing called technology. Language brings upon words which allows us to communicate not only by mouth but by reading and writing. Believe it or not, language is the base of all technology.

      The creation of language was by far the most important aspect in the world just by the way it has broken the barrier between people. Although at times people may think that because a person speaks a different language such as english and spanish, it may be hard to communicate with that person. However, I think that one of important ways of language would be the technical language. Regardless of whether or not a person speaks english or spanish when it comes to working with technology it is the same across the board.
  • Over time language also enabled information to be stored in a memory greater than an individual’s recall. A language-based culture accumulated stories and oral wisdom to disseminate to future generations. T

      Language has become the stepping stones to a technology based future. Once language was created and people learned to turn language into words, books were invented. Once books weren't efficient enough, humans decided to think outside the box. Through the use of technology, the computer was made, making it easier to communicate with different human languages. Technology is advancing everyday. Whether it be as simple as book or piece of paper, technology is rapidly changing. Is it for the good of mankind, or for the worst? I guess you can safely say it is a little bit of both.

      If a group of people speak the same language, then they all would have the same stories. Some people might forget some while others might remember other things. In the end, the more people you have the better the chance a group has to pass on stories to future generations.

      It is interesting that it speaks about how information can be stored in a memory greater than a person could ever recall. This sentence makes me think about what we discussed in class the other day about the only way to ensure that you can get your information back again today is through the internet. By saving files on the internet, people are able to always access them. As before people used to rely on books to store all the information needed, people are now turning to the internet to do this job instead.

      Writing has become a very important attribute to the world. It allows us to write down ideas that can be later refered to, and possibly be used to better the every growing world. The idea of writing has expanded into ascepts in life we use on a more regualr basis, such as laws enforced by government and a calendar to write down important dates and actually know the date.
  • We inject order into everything we manufacture by designing it, but now we are also adding small microscopic chips that can perform small amounts of computation and communication. Even the smallest disposable item will share a small thin sliver of our collective mind.

      Unfortunately, we believe that we can keep our lives private. However, there is no such thing as privacy anymore. Anyone or anything can communicate with you by any means necessary. Technology is going to a whole new level and is making communication a much easier thing to do. Just when you think your privacy is protected, think again, because someone will always be watching. Anyone can communicate with you, even if you do not want to communicate with them. One day, all items, technology, as well as humans, will have RFID chips installed into them, making communication easier, and making privacy non-existent.
  • No transition has affected our species, or the world at large, more than the creation of language. Indeed many would define humanity by its possession of true language. The informational aspects of language are now obvious.

      The reason that langauge is the largest transition is because without language their would be no way for us to communicate. Being able to use language is the quickest way to communicate, because if we did not speak the only way for us to commnictae would be by drawing something or to use sign language and the only way that works is if someone is looking at us. Also the other benefit is that with language we can talk to someone and not have to look at them.

      It is amazing to think that this is the world that we are coming to after looking back on where we came from regarding information. Technology is now focusing on order and ensuring that the world is improving as each day passes. By giving technology a meaning of what it is, is only helping our society grow into becoming something bigger and more improved. As before people would have to interact with an object in order to get it to respond, now an object will be able to respond on its own.

      The world would have never evolved if it weren't for the creation of language. Language defines humanity, showing the knowlegde we gain. When language changed we were also able to see the diversity among the different people living in the world. We need to stay ontop of the language we have create and be prepared for any changes that may happen with the evolution of the world.
  • We are in the midst of a movement where we embed information into all matter around us. We inject order into everything we manufacture by designing it, but now we are also adding small microscopic chips that can perform small amounts of computation and communication.

      This refers back to that everything will be able to become a smart object, and can communicate with other objects. Also everything will contian RFID tags, which then can be tracked and give out information depending upon what it is. Eventually everything will become one big virtual world, which will make everything much easier since then the world will come to you instead of you going to the world.

      We are in the middle of the growing world of technology. We need to embrace the changings that are happening and the ones that are on the way. Once we start to graps the reins of technology we will only be bettering ourselves. We will be living in the web in the future, so now is the time to prepare, and gain all the knowlege we can ablout the changings that are occuring now.
  • The invention of writing systems for language and math structured this learning even more. Ideas could be remembered more accurately, and just as importantly, their organization could be examined and analyzed. Ideas could also be indexed, retrieved, and propagated easier. Writing allowed the organization of information to penetrate into many aspects of life and vastly accelerated trade, creation of calendars, and laws – all of which organized information furthe

      Reading and writing as well as math has become easier to do as technology progresses. Programs such as word and excel make reading and math as simple as clicking the mouse to a computer. Writing information down and using your brain to solve problems were only stepping stones to the future of reading and math. Humans come up with new ways everyday to make math as well as reading an easier task to accomplish, simply by using a computer.
