Technology Evolution
‘’Science is the systematic way of acquiring knowledge through observation and experimentation, whereas technology is the practical application of science. Technology is used to design products that improve the quality of human life.’’ Taken from www.reference.com
Science is the guilty one of technology evolution, yes as you hear it! Science is the area where all of the Scientifics start testing, discovering and inventing new things; once something is discovered they test it and realize it does work –requirement that people make, because they think they need more quality- so they put it in function, evolving the world.
A clear example is the mobile phone, when they first started to come out they were big and thick phones without camera, as years went passing and people started asking for more, science and technology together started to evolve making better phones, up to what we have reached today a smartphone – phone with camera, apps, Wi-Fi, recorder, music player, apps, and many more things- It first started in 1982 with a Nokia car phone, 1984 Motorola DynaTac 8000x, 1987 Mobira Cityman, 1989 Motorola Micro Tac (analog phone), 1992 Nokia 1011 (First digital handhold phone), 1993 BellSouth/IBM Simon Personal Communicator (First phone with a touch screen and smartphone features –pager, calculator, address book, send/receive taxes, games and email- cost: $900), 2000 Ericsson R360 (First marked as smartphone), 2002 BlackBerry 5810 (Keyboard for thumbs), 2004 Motorola Razr (Part phone, part fashion, first 4 years sold over 110 million units), 2007 Apple iPhone (hundreds of people lined up outside the Apple stores to buy the first iPhone), and 2016 what we have now, the best smartphones you can find, evolving more and more every tim; as they evolve we become more attach to it, to the grade of never going anywhere without our phone
