DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGIES IN DIFFERENT
GENERATIONS

Science is a systematic experimentation that gives

inventors knowledge and ideas, so that they can
make technologies to have knowledge and more
science and for more technologies, and so on.
Science and Technology has contributed a lot of
historical achievements and developments to our
society. It helps the society to have equipments
and to tools and use that for another inventions
and improvements back to the society.

In the past 3.3 million years, according to studies,

there are already tools that found and used by an
ancient humanlike apes called Paranthropus. While
the inventors of fire, 1 millions years ago was the
Homo Erectus. Skipping on to the invention of
humans, Irrigation, invented by the civilization of
the Tigris Euphrates in Mesopotamia. Steam
engine (improved by James Watt), Railways
(invented by Richard Trevithick), and Steamboat
(invented by Robert Fulton) was invented in the
Generation of Transcendental. In the Missionary
generation, the most useful inventions until now
was born, the Telephone and Electric Bulb.
Another most useful until now is the automobile
or car that invented by Karl Benz in the Lost
Generation and improved by the other inventors.
While in Silent Generation the first computer and
television was invented followed by the AI,
Internet, 3D Printers, and CRISP (Clustered
Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats).

In todays generation, there are so many helpful

technologies that build us and our society.
Technology have been part of our life, without
technology we will still live on how all things
work in difficult ways. It has a huge influence for
us being advance and allows us to make things
easier. In my opinion communicating using smart
phones and any gadgets is the best thing that
technology contributed in my life and in simply
tapping on your phone, we can easily order and
have our food right away. However, we should be
all aware on the positive and negative impact of
science and technologies to our needs, nature, and
especially to our health.
