Technology History

Technological development does not take place suddenly, but lasts an evolutive. Since the days of Ancient Rome and thought have been visible results-oriented culture into the field of technology. Etymologically, the root word is the technology “techne” which means a set of principles or rational methods associated with the production of an object, or a particular skill, or knowledge of the principles or methods and the arts. The term itself to technology first used by Philips in 1706 in a book entitled Technology: Description About Art-Art, Especially Machine (Technology: A Description Of The Arts, ESPECIALLY The Mechanical)
a. Pre-historical Period (… s / d 3000 BC)
In the pre-history is used as a system of information technology for the introduction of the forms which they want to be identified. After getting the information described on the walls of caves or rock cliffs. In the pre-history have possessed the ability to identify objects around the existing environment and mepresentasikannya in various shapes and then painted on cave walls where they lived.

Communicating information with a picture / painting be a good choice because of language ability at that time only range on the voice grunts and hand signals. Subsequent developments they start using the tools that produce sounds and gestures, such as drums, trumpets made from animal horns, smoke signals as a tool to warn against certain conditions such hazards.

b. Historical Period (3000 BC until AD 1400s)
During this period of history, information technology developed in the upper class society as the head of the tribe or group, is used in certain activities such as ceremonies, and rituals.Information technology has not been used en masse as we know it today.

1) The Year 3000SM
In this period people began to familiar symbols or writings, and found a symbol for the first time information, used by the Sumerians. Paper used was a time of symbols that are formed from pictograf as letters. Symbols or letters used have to have different sounds in penyebutannya to each form, so was able to form words, sentences and language.

2) The Year 2900 BC
In this period found that the Ancient Egyptians already know and use letters called Hierogliph.Hierogliph letter is already a symbol for an expression language. For each expression is indicated by different symbols, and when combined into one it will have the pronunciation and meaning. Hierogliph form of writing and language is more advanced and complete compared with the Sumerian writing.

3) Period of 500 BC
This period was marked by the introduction of the media information that previously used clay tablets. At this time humans already know the media to store information better with fiber trees.Papyrus fibers derived from trees that grew around rivers Papyrus nil is used as the media writing / media information at the time. Papyrus fibers stronger and more flexible than the slab of land as a medium of information. Furthermore papyrus fibers is the forerunner to the media that we know today are media paper.

4) The Year 1455
This period was marked by efforts to create a printing machine. Pasa this period humans have used print machine in the form of letters that tebuat plate of steel. Then the plate is replaced with a wooden frame that was developed tebuat first developed by Johann Gutenberg.

5) The Year 1800
In the year 1830 people are already familiar with computer programs. Lady Augusta Byron wrote the first computer program in collaboration with Charles Babbage. They use analytical engine.Analytical engine with the program is designed to be able to receive data, process data and produce output in a card form. Furthermore, this machine is known as a form of the first digital computer, although the way it works is more mechanical than digital character. This machine is the forerunner to the first digital computer ENIAC was I in 94 years then.

In the year 1837 was marked with information delivery technology. Samuel Morse developed the telegraph and morse code language with Sir William Cook and Sir Charles Wheatstone. They send the information electronically between the two (two) places far apart through the cable connecting the two places. Delivery and receipt of this information is able to achieve a good time difference and almost happened at the same time. This discovery allows the information can be accepted and used widely by the community without hampered or limited by time and distance.

In the year 1861 people are already thinking about how to display the information in the form of moving images in the media screen. The period was also a peroyeksikan moving image into a screen for the first time in use. This discovery is a technology pioneer movie now.
In the year 1876 to develop Melvyl Dewey Decimal system of writing. In 1877 Alexander Graham Bell to develop a phone that is used in general. In that year the high-speed photography was also found by Edweard Maybridge. In the year 1899 has been used in tape storage system (tape) to the first magnetic.

c. Early Years 1900s
1923 Zvorkyn create tube TV (Television) first. In 1940 the commencement of development in the field of information science during World War II that is used for the benefit of sending and receiving military documents that are stored in the form of magnetic tape. In 1945 Vannevar Bush developed a coding system using hypertext. Year 1946 is the world’s first digital computer ENIAC was first developed. In 1948 researchers at Bell Telephone develop transistors. 1957 Jean Hoerni developed the planar transistor. This technology enables the development of millions and even billions of transistors incorporated into a small chip of silicon crystal.

USSR (Russia at the time) sputnik launched as the first artificial earth satellite whose job as a spy. In return America to form ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency) under the authority of the U.S. Defense Department to develop science and information technology in the military field. Paul Rand Barand 1962, from firms RAND, commissioned to develop a decentralized network system capable of controlling the system and launch a missile bombardment in a nuclear war.

1. Year 1969 is the first network system formed by connecting the four nodes (points), between the University of California, SRI (Stanford), University of California of Santa Barbara, and University of Utah with a strength of 50Kbps.
2. In 1972 Ray Tomlinson created the e-mail program first. Year 1973 – 1990 term Internet was introduced in a paper on TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol) and developing a network protocol that became known as TCP / IP was developed by a group from DARPA.
3. In 1981, the National Science Foundation to develop backbone called CSNET 56 Kbps capacity for any institution in the government. later in the year 1986 the IETF to develop a server that functions as a coordination tool between; DARPA, the ARPANET, the DDN and the Internet Gateway. Year 1991 in the field of IT business systems first occurred when CERN in tackling the operational costs and charge a fee from its members.
4. Year 1992 formation of the Internet community, and the introduction of the term WWW (World Wide Web) by CERN.
5. Internic 1993 NSF established to provide Internet services related to directory and data storage and database (AT & Q), registration services (Network Solutions Inc.,), and nformation services (General Atomics / CERFnet).
6. Year 1994 growth drove very fast internet and start reaching into all aspects of human life and be a part that can not be separated from humans.
7. Tahun 1995, the Company is permitted to be providers generally start with buying on the backbone network, this step start development of information technology especially internet and research to develop systems and more sophisticated tools.

Technology

Technology is the usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, and crafts, or is systems or methods of organization, or is a material product (such as clothing) of these things. The word technology comes from the Greek technología (τεχνολογία) — téchnē (τέχνη), ‘craft’ and -logía (-λογία), the study of something, or the branch of knowledge of a discipline.[1] The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include “construction technology”, “medical technology”, or “state-of-the-art technology”.
Technologies significantly affect human as well as other animal species’ ability to control and adapt to their natural environments. The human species’ use of technology began with the conversion of natural resources into simple tools. The prehistorical discovery of the ability to control fire increased the available sources of food and the invention of the wheel helped humans in travelling in and controlling their environment. Recent technological developments, including the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet, have lessened physical barriers to communication and allowed humans to interact freely on a global scale. However, not all technology has been used for peaceful purposes; the development of weapons of ever-increasing destructive power has progressed throughout history, from clubs to nuclear weapons.
Technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies, technology has helped develop more advanced economies (including today’s global economy) and has allowed the rise of a leisure class. Many technological processes produce unwanted by-products, known as pollution, and deplete natural resources, to the detriment of the Earth and its environment. Various implementations of technology influence the values of a society and new technology often raises new ethical questions. Examples include the rise of the notion of efficiency in terms of human productivity, a term originally applied only to machines, and the challenge of traditional norms.
Philosophical debates have arisen over the present and future use of technology in society, with disagreements over whether technology improves the human condition or worsens it. Neo-Luddism, anarcho-primitivism, and similar movements criticise the pervasiveness of technology in the modern world, opining that it harms the environment and alienates people; proponents of ideologies such as transhumanism and techno-progressivism view continued technological progress as beneficial to society and the human condition. Indeed, until recently, it was believed that the development of technology was restricted only to human beings, but recent scientific studies indicate that other primates and certain dolphin communities have developed simple tools and learned to pass their knowledge to other generations.
