 History of the technology

 The earliest known technology is the stone tool used in prehistoric

times, and subsequent control of fire contributed to the growth of
the human brain and the development of language during the Ice
Age.
 The invention of the wheel in the Bronze Age allowed for more
travel and the creation of more complex machines.
 Newer technological breakthroughs, including the printing press,
telephone, and internet, lowered barriers to communication and
launched the knowledge economy.
 While technology contributes to economic development and
human well-being, it can have negative effects such as pollution
and resource depletion, and cause social harms such as
technological unemployment from automation.
 As a result, there are ongoing philosophical and political debates
about the role and use of technology, the ethics of technology, and
ways to reduce its disadvantages.
 In the 20th century, as a result of scientific progress and the Second
Industrial Revolution, technology ceased to be viewed as a
separate academic discipline and took on its present meaning: the
systematic use of knowledge for practical purposes.
