Measuring technological progress

Many sociologists and anthropologists have created social theories dealing with social and cultural evolution. Some, like Lewis H. Morgan, Leslie White, and Gerhard Lenski, declare technological progress to be the primary factor driving the development of human civilization. Morgan’s concept of three major stages of social evolution (savagery, barbarism, and civilization) can be divided by technological milestones, like fire, the bow, and pottery in the savage era, domestication of animals, agriculture, and metalworking in the barbarian era and the alphabet and writing in the civilization era.

Instead of specific inventions, White decided that the measure by which to judge the evolution of culture was energy. For White “the primary function of culture” is to “harness and control energy.” White differentiates between five stages of human development: In the first, people use energy of their own muscles. In the second, they use energy of domesticated animals. In the third, they use the energy of plants (agricultural revolution). In the fourth, they learn to use the energy of natural resources: coal, oil, gas. In the fifth, they harness nuclear energy. White introduced a formula P=E*T, where E is a measure of energy consumed, and T is the measure of efficiency of technical factors utilizing the energy. In his own words, “culture evolves as the amount of energy harnessed per capita per year is increased, or as the efficiency of the instrumental means of putting the energy to work is increased”. Russian astronomer, Nikolai Kardashev, extrapolated his theory creating the Kardashev scale, which categorizes the energy use of advanced civilizations.

Lenski takes a more modern approach and focuses on information. The more information and knowledge (especially allowing the shaping of natural environment) a given society has, the more advanced it is. He identifies four stages of human development, based on advances in the history of communication. In the first stage, information is passed by genes. In the second, when humans gain sentience, they can learn and pass information through by experience. In the third, the humans start using signs and develop logic. In the fourth, they can create symbols, develop language and writing. Advancements in the technology of communication translates into advancements in the economic system and political system, distribution of wealth, social inequality and other spheres of social life. He also differentiates societies based on their level of technology, communication and economy:

hunters and gatherers,

simple agricultural,

advanced agricultural,

industrial,

special (such as fishing societies).

Finally, from the late 1970s sociologists and anthropologists like Alvin Toffler (author of Future Shock), Daniel Bell and John Naisbitt have approached the theories of post-industrial societies, arguing that the current era of industrial society is coming to an end, and services and information are becoming more important than industry and goods. Some of the more extreme visions of the post-industrial society, especially in fiction, are strikingly similar to the visions of near and post-Singularity societies.

Stone Age

A variety of stone tools

During the Stone Age, all humans had a lifestyle which involved limited use of tools and few, if any, permanent settlements. The first major technologies, then, were tied to survival, hunting, and food preparation in this environment. Fire, stone tools and weapons, and clothing were technological developments of major importance during this period. Stone Age cultures developed music, and engaged in organized warfare. A subset of Stone Age humans developed ocean-worthy outrigger ship technology, leading to an eastward migration across the Malay archipelago, across the Indian ocean to Madagascar and also across the Pacific Ocean, which required knowledge of the ocean currents, weather patterns, sailing, celestial navigation, and star maps. The early Stone Age is described as Epipaleolithic or Mesolithic. The former is generally used to describe the early Stone Age in areas with limited glacial impact. The later Stone Age, during which the rudiments of agricultural technology were developed, is called the Neolithic period. During this period, polished stone tools were made from a variety of hard rocks such as flint, jade, jadeite and greenstone, largely by working exposures as quarries, but later the valuable rocks were pursued by tunnelling underground, the first steps in mining technology. The polished axes were used for forest clearance and the establishment of crop farming, and were so effective as to remain in use when bronze and iron appeared.

Although Paleolithic cultures left no written records, the shift from nomadic life to settlement and agriculture can be inferred from a range of archaeological evidence. Such evidence includes ancient tools, cave paintings, and other prehistoric art, such as the Venus of Willendorf. Human remains also provide direct evidence, both through the examination of bones, and the study of mummies. Though concrete evidence is limited, scientists and historians have been able to form significant inferences about the lifestyle and culture of various prehistoric peoples, and the role technology played in their lives.

Copper and Bronze Age

A late Bronze Age sword or dagger blade.

The Stone Age developed into the Bronze Age after the Neolithic Revolution. The Neolithic Revolution involved radical changes in agricultural technology which included development of agriculture, animal domestication, and the adoption of permanent settlements. These combined factors made possible the development of metal smelting, with copper and later bronze, an alloy of tin and copper, being the materials of choice, although polished stone tools continued to be used for a considerable time owing to their abundance compared with the less common metals (especially tin).

This technological trend apparently began in the Fertile Crescent, and spread outward over time. It should be noted that these developments were not, and still are not, universal. The Three-age system does not accurately describe the technology history of groups outside of Eurasia, and does not apply at all in the case of some isolated populations, such as the Spinifex People, the Sentinelese, and various Amazonian tribes, which still make use of Stone Age technology, and have not developed agricultural or metal technology.

Iron Age

The Iron Age involved the adoption of iron smelting technology. It generally replaced bronze, and made it possible to produce tools which were stronger and cheaper to make than bronze equivalents. In many Eurasian cultures, the Iron Age was the last major step before the development of written language, though again this was not universally the case. It was not possible to mass manufacture steel because high furnace temperatures were needed, but steel could be produced by forging bloomery iron to reduce the carbon content in a controllable way. Iron ores were much more widespread than either copper or tin. In Europe, large hill forts were built either as a refuge in time of war, or sometimes as permanent settlements. In some cases, existing forts from the Bronze Age were expanded and enlarged. The pace of land clearance using the more effective iron axes increased, providing more farmland to support the growing population.

By 1000 BC 500 BC, the Germanic tribes had a Bronze Age civilization, while the Celts were in the Iron Age by the time of the Hallstatt culture. Their cultures collided with the military and agricultural practices of the Romans, leading those Europeans who were conquered to adopt Roman technological advances.

Ancient civilizations

Main article: Ancient technology

It was the growth of the ancient civilizations which produced the greatest advances in technology and engineering, advances which stimulated other societies to adopt new ways of living and governance.

The Egyptians invented and used many simple machines, such as the ramp to aid construction processes. The Indus Valley Civilization, situated in a resource-rich area, is notable for its early application of city planning and sanitation technologies. Ancient India was also at the forefront of seafaring technology panel found at Mohenjodaro, depicts a sailing craft. Indian construction and architecture, called ‘Vaastu Shastra’, suggests a thorough understanding of materials engineering, hydrology, and sanitation.

The Chinese made many first-known discoveries and developments. Major technological contributions from China include early seismological detectors, matches, paper, cast iron, the iron plough, the multi-tube seed drill, the suspension bridge, the parachute, natural gas as fuel, the magnetic compass, the raised-relief map, the propeller, the crossbow, the South Pointing Chariot, and gun powder.

An illustration of the aeolipile, the earliest steam-powered device

Greek and Hellenistic engineers invented many technologies and improved upon pre-existing technologies. Particularly the Hellenistic period saw a sharp rise in technological inventiveness, fostered by a climate of openness to new idea, royal patronage the blossom of a mechanistic philosophy and the establishment of the Library of Alexandria and its close association with the adjacent museion. In contrast to the typically anonymous inventor of earlier ages, ingenuine minds such as Archimedes, Philo of Byzantium, Heron and Ctesibius now remained known by name to posterity.

Ancient Greek innovations were particularly pronounced in mechanical technology, including the ground-breaking invention of the watermill which constituted the first human-devised motive force not to rely on muscle labour (besides the sail). Apart from their pioneer use of waterpower, Greek inventors were also the first to experiment with wind power (see Heron’s windwheel) and even created the earliest steam engine (the aeolipile), opening up entirely new possibilities in harnessing natural forces whose full potential came only to be exploited in the industrial revolution. Of particular importance for the operation of mechanical devices became the newly devised right-angled gear and the screw.

The compartmented water-wheel, here its overshot version, was invented in Hellenistic times

Ancient agriculture, as in any period prior to the modern age the primary mode of production and subsistence, and its irrigation methods were considerably advanced by the invention and widespread application of a number of previously unknown water-lifting devices, such as the vertical water-wheel, the compartmented wheel, the water turbine, Archimedes screw, the suction pump, the bucket-chain and pot-garland, the force pump, the suction pump, the double-action piston pump and quite possibly the chain pump.

In music, water organ, invented by Ctesibius and subsequently improved, constituted the earliest instance of a keyboard instrument. In time-keeping, the introduction of the inflow clepsydra and its mechanization by the dial and pointer, the application of a feedback system and the escapement mechanism far superseded the earlier outflow clepsydra.

The famous Antikythera mechanism, a kind of analogous computer working with a differential gear, and the astrolabe show great refinement in the astronomical science.

Greek engineers were also the first to devise automaton such as vending machines, suspended ink pots, automatic washstands and doors, primarily as toys, which however featured many new useful mechanisms such as the cam and gimbals.

In other fields, ancient Greek inventions include the catapult and the gastraphetes crossbow in warfare, hollow bronze-casting in metallurgy, the dioptra for surveying, in infrastructure the lighthouse, central heating, the tunnel excavated from both ends by scientific calculations, the ship trackway, the dry dock and plumbing. In horizontal vertical and transport great progress resulted from the invention of the crane, the winch, the wheelbarrow and the odometer.

Further newly created techniques and items were spiral staircases, the chain drive, sliding calipers and showers.

Pont du Gard in France, a Roman aqueduct

The Romans developed an intensive and sophisticated agriculture, expanded upon existing iron working technology, created laws providing for individual ownership, advanced stone masonry technology, advanced road-building (exceeded only in the 19th century), military engineering, civil engineering, spinning and weaving and several different machines like the Gallic reaper that helped to increase productivity in many sectors of the Roman economy. Roman engineers were the first to build monumental arches, amphitheatres, aqueducts, public baths, true arch bridges, harbours, reservoirs and dams, vaults and domes on a very large scale across their Empire. Notable Roman inventions include the book (Codex), glass blowing and concrete. Because Rome was located on a volcanic peninsula, with sand which contained suitable crystalline grains, the concrete which the Romans formulated was especially durable. Some of their buildings have lasted 2000 years, to the present day.

The engineering skills of the Inca and the Mayans were great, even by today’s standards. An example is the use of pieces weighing in upwards of one ton in their stonework placed together so that not even a blade can fit in-between the cracks. The villages used irrigation canals and drainage systems, making agriculture very efficient. While some claim that the Incas were the first inventors of hydroponics, their agricultural technology was still soil based, if advanced. Though the Maya civilization had no metallurgy or wheel technology, they developed complex writing and astrological systems, and created sculptural works in stone and flint. Like the Inca, the Maya also had command of fairly advanced agricultural and construction technology. Throughout this time period much of this construction, was made only by women, as men of the Maya civilization believed that females were responsible for the creation of new things. The main contribution of the Aztec rule was a system of communications between the conquered cities. In Mesoamerica, without draft animals for transport (nor, as a result, wheeled vehicles), the roads were designed for travel on foot, just like the Inca and Mayan civilizations.

Medieval and Modern technologies

Medieval Europe

Medieval counterweight trebuchet (reconstruction)

Main article: Medieval technology

European technology in the Middle Ages may be best described as a symbiosis of traditio et innovatio. While medieval technology has been long depicted as a step backwards in the evolution of Western technology, sometimes willfully so by modern authors intent on denouncing the church as antagonistic to scientific progress (see e.g. Myth of the Flat Earth), a generation of medievalists around the American historian of science Lynn White stressed from the 1940s onwards the innovative character of many medieval techniques. Genuine medieval contributions include for example mechanical clocks, spectacles and vertical windmills. Medieval ingenuity was also displayed in the invention of seemingly inconspicuous items like the watermark or the functional button. In navigation, the foundation to the subsequent age of exploration was laid by the introduction of pintle-and-gudgeon rudders, lateen sails, the dry compass the horseshoe and the astrolabe.

Significant advances were also made in military technology with the development of plate armour, steel crossbows, counterweight trebuchets and cannon. Perhaps best known are the Middle Ages for their architectural heritage: While the invention of the rib vault and pointed arch gave rise to the high rising Gothic style, the ubiquitous medieval fortifications gave the era the almost proverbial title of the ‘age of castles’.

From the 8th century, the medieval Islamic world witnessed a fundamental transformation in agriculture known as the “Muslim Agricultural Revolution”, “Arab Agricultural Revolution”, or “Green Revolution”. Due to the global economy established by Muslim traders across the Old World during the “Afro-Asiatic age of discovery” or “Pax Islamica”, this enabled the diffusion of many crops, plants and farming techniques between different parts of the Islamic world, as well as the adaptation of crops, plants and techniques from beyond the Islamic world, distributed throughout Islamic lands which normally would not be able to grow these crops. The diffusion of numerous crops during this period led, along with an increased mechanization of agriculture, led to major changes in economy, population distribution, vegetation cover, agricultural production and income, population levels, urban growth, the distribution of the labour force, linked industries, cooking and diet, clothing, and numerous other aspects of life in the Islamic world.

Muslim engineers in the Islamic world were responsible for numerous innovative industrial uses of hydropower, the early indu

Ink jet Print After following the screen printing is another “universal” printing technology, it is with the computer control technology and the constant development of packaging technology developed rapidly, and now many modern factories and packing line can be automatically applied. Inkjet printing has advantages over other printing methods, such as adaptability, high intelligence, low cost and no pollution. The operator can easily and quickly in the field (sports) the date printed on the packaging, specifications, shelf life, quantity, bar code, etc.. After drying inkjet printing products quickly into the next process immediately. Different from the traditional package printing, inkjet printing no longer need a dedicated pre-press plate and supporting processes.

Advanced inkjet printing systems, the operator simply pressing the keyboard during operation can change the font need to print, symbols and various graphics. It not only can be used to print text and numbers, bar codes can also be extended to achieve choice and user (customer) signs printing security features. Inkjet printing systems have gone far beyond the scope of traditional printing, which in addition to black and white and color printing with features, it also has data processing and information storage capabilities. It is by select (installed) memory storage device can store hundreds of independent coding (digital and character sets, etc.), and ten thousand characters.

It is connected with the computer can work records and reports to achieve the collation and printing. When it is connected in series with the host, but also on the packaging (or other printing items on) print out the weight of record coming from a variety of data satellite communications, mapping and other atmospheric cloud. Inkjet printing has been widely used in the scene of various shapes and surface printing of packaging materials, whether there is a hole or no hole, flat or curved surface of the fabric or shape with bones, such as Plastic , Cloth, paper, fur, ceramics, glass or metal. Rate applies to all kinds of printing, whether uniform, variable or intermittent operation, and most suitable for packing non-stop continuous production line operation. In the continuous inkjet printing production line number, date, printing or adhesive labels than other more economical and efficient. Inkjet printing principle, whether for packaging inkjet printing or inkjet printing for the office areas, the basic principle is the same. Now in office inkjet printer, for example, introduce the principle of inkjet printing.

Now on the market There are two main types of inkjet printers: piezoelectric (such as EPSON products) and bubble-type (such as HP, Canon’s products). Piezoelectric ink jet printer nozzle at one end position, the other end is a piezoelectric material (mostly lead – Al – Ti type piezoelectric crystal), Ink The role of deformation in the piezoelectric crystal under high pressure out of the nozzle is, after the ink droplet ejected up into the ink cartridge in a timely manner. Bubble jet printers with thermal resistance near the nozzle, the digital signal applied current pulse transient heat (heating rate up 100 ° C / s, temperatures up to 280 ° C), of the ink for rapid local heating, so that around a small amount of ink to form a bubble boiling. In the bubble pressure drops to be ejected under the action of the nozzle, while air bubbles disappear, and take away the heat. Ink from the storage room quickly fill the gap by capillary action. The development of inkjet printing inkjet ink inkjet ink principle of the decision to have some special properties. First, the ink should have a certain viscosity, surface tension, pH, and other physical and chemical properties. General ink surface tension (3.0 ~ 5.0) × 10-2N / m, viscosity of 1 ~ 3.0mPa? S, pH value of 8 to 9 is more appropriate. Second, the ink should be stored long-term stability, good performance of continuous and intermittent printing, good color, brightness, purity and color saturation as well as water, light, wind and chemical properties. Furthermore, the ink composition can not react chemically with the nozzle, so as not to cause nozzle clogging; ink to clear printing, fast drying, but not in the injection process, or do not use excessive evaporation; ink to print out the images and text should be clean, non-proliferation, lack of ink, and of disparities.

To meet the above requirements on the performance of inkjet ink, inkjet ink composition generally consists of the following components: Solvent , Coloring agents, surfactants, moisturizers, pH value regulator, driers, metal ion chelating agent, preservatives and other Additive .

1970 years, according to different principles of ink-jet technology, a variety of inkjet printers have been developed, and began as a commodity into the market, inkjet printers as non-hitting style in the spectacular new, high-speed, low noise output device, the development of extremely fast.

A result, ink-jet ink has been further developed, particularly for liquid-type color inkjet printer ink. As early as 1974, a German company has introduced a color ink. After that, the major companies to speed up the research of ink, such as the United States, IBM, Japan’s Fuji and so do a lot of work. Especially in 1982, the Japanese company Canon Bubble Jet printers come out after the ink R & D progress more quickly. Canon introduced the first of a bubble-jet printer for the ink. This ink has good storage stability, good performance of intermittent and continuous printing. While major companies have started to be improved ink formulations. For example, the company developed a EPSON ink, ink and paper when such contact, can be added to the surface of the packing paper media solution, an exposed pulp, ink droplets are immediately absorbed, so dry and fast and can keep each blot a high degree of circularity. The problems faced by domestic inkjet printing inkjet printer with its good price, has been accepted by more and more users. However, in the country, further development of inkjet printing technology is still subject to a number of factors. According to the information and the author of the survey on the domestic market so far, China has not really developed a variety of performance are more stable ink-jet ink, so the current domestic market, inkjet ink, color ink-jet ink in particular almost all imports, these import prices are very high ink-jet ink, seriously hinder our inkjet printing industry and related industries. Therefore, improving the performance of ink, especially developed color is good, security, performance and stability of the ink has become the most pressing problems.

In just the past few years we have seen these simple clear trays go from moving simple orthodontic relapse cases to improving patients with full fled moderate to severe crowding of the top and bottom teeth. I like to stress to everyone that invisalign is not for everyone, you have to be a candidate, compliant with wearing your trays, and maintain good oral hygiene during treatment. I am proud to be the only Priemier Preferred Provider that is a General Dentist in Lake county spanning Libertyville, Gurnee, Mundelein, Vernon Hills, Grayslake, Lake Forest, and Waukegan. This means our Libertyville Dental Associates office has been honored by invisalign with this distinction through our high level of case experience. With many happy invisalign patients comes some common questions. The three most common questions my patients ask about invisalign is 

How long do I have to be in invisalign treatment?
How much does it cost?
Does it hurt?

Invisalign treatment time and cost vary depending on the severity of the case.  Simple cases can take anywhere from 2 months to 8 months. More difficult cases can take from 6 to 24 months to complete. I try to teach my patients that the most important goal is to get your teeth and bite into proper form so that you are happy with the end result. Cost is a real issue these days and it should not be overlooked, very easy cases can range from $ 3800 up to and over $ 5000 is some areas in the city of Chicago for more complex cases.  

The best thing to do is get an assessment of your bite and smile to see where you might fit in case time, difficulty and cost. At Libertyville Dental Associates we offer free invisalign consultations to allow patients to get a feel for the office and what invisalign treatment might look like for each individual. This brings us to our last question. The beauty of invisalign and why so many adults and now even teens are looking at invisalign as first option over braces at the Orthodontist.  Invisalign really is a more pain free process. The records are taken with pictures and simple impressions. There are no brackets that tear at your gums and cause ulcerations. The trays are clear and virtually invisible. Patients do experience some slight discomfort when they get a new tray in place because the teeth are moving. Most equate it to a light headache and don’t need any pain medication. I am going to try and document a couple of cases for everyone to understand what the patient process is like from start to finish. I hope this helps with some of your invisalign questions, try to find someone who can do a free consultation like Libertyville Dental Associates.

The introduction of modern technology has revolutionised the process of moving house for many people and companies. With the introduction of online Estate Agents and the extremely large use of internet search engines, it is no surprise to anyone that many people who are moving house now turn to finding their conveyancing quote online. Because of the infinite size of the World Wide Web many people find that the internet provides them with a greater choice and with options of companies that would before lie dormant in their attempts to find a conveyancing firm. Because of the large amount of results that search engines can offer the modern day consumer, many of them much prefer searching for a conveyancing quote online rather that just using their local solicitors.

There are many benefits of finding a conveyancing quote online but as with anything, there are also a few underlying problems that are connected to this new way of doing things. Benefits include the speed of which internet search engines are able to bring back relevant and exciting results to the person searching on their computers. For example, it normally takes just around nought point one six seconds to obtain the absolutely huge number of results that are presented to the person searching. In this case, when searching simply the term ‘conveyancing’, there are around three million, seven hundred and fifty thousand results presented. These are mind boggling figures that are difficult to comprehend for any person. However, although this is obviously a way of providing people with a huge amount of choice in the company that they use, finding a reliable and good conveyancing quote online may be even likened to finding a needle in a haystack and the amount of choice that is given to you many even be seen as excessive and more importantly unnecessary.

However, again, there are other benefits. Moving house is obviously a very money consuming time in anyone’s life, and the more choice you have, the more likely you are to find something cheap when looking for a conveyancing quote online. This means that good value can be found with the right amount of searching and in particular searching into the backgrounds of the companies that you find online.

Nobody wants to feel like their money has been wasted, and so by using friends and family’s recommendations along with the information available to everyone at just the click of a button on the internet, you can find a good, honest and reliable company to take your case on. After all, with the magnitude of importance that moving house brings, every person wishes to have things dealt with by professional people who know exactly what they are doing and very importantly have the experience to back them up. These are factors that can not necessarily be found by searching for a conveyancing quote online, and so for this reason it is of great importance that you use more than one source of information when researching the legal processes involved in moving home.

The first ever known game for consoles was called PONG, which was based on Baer’s original idea of creating a tennis game. During this time, it is almost impossible to find a pub where PONG is not played. Atari owns the title PONG and this was the most popular game during 1972-1976.

Bally was the number one competitor of Atari during that time, and in 1977 they released Bally Professional Arcade. Although it offers better graphics quality, the price of the console is a lot higher compared to Atari’s PONG, hence, it was not able to catch the interest of people.

In 1982-1984, the creations of game cartridges for game consoles were at its peak. However, these creations were substandard cartridges resulting to a great decline in the industry of games and consoles. A lot of developers, manufacturers, and publisher had to shut down due to decline in the industry. One of the few games to survive this collapse was the Colevision of Coleco.

After the crash in 1982-1984, Nintendo revolutionized the world of gaming by releasing a high-powered 8-bit microprocessor. This made game consoles available to every home; hence, the legend of Nintendo still lives until the time of this writing. During that time, the first ever hand held game console called Gameboy is also released.

The next thing that happened was the release of the more powerful game consoles featuring a 16-bit microprocessors. The dominant game consoles during that time were Sega and Nintendo.

Although Atari attempted to reenter the game console industry, they were not able to catch the attention people and soon failed.

The next character of the story is Sony with their Playstation. This was the first game console to ever use CDs for games and was sold $ 100 cheaper compared to Sega Saturn which was its number one competitor during that time.

Powered with the technology that we have today, game consoles are far different from the consoles of the past. Who knows what will happen to this industry after another 20 or 30 years?
