Techonology and society

The Submarine

May 2, 1620

The Submarine was a millitary break though. It made countrys capable to attack while not being seen. This was the best way of war for a long time. Until ofcourse they invented sonar. It was a vessel that was capable of being fully sumerged underwater up to a certain pressure. At first they would barley make it under water more than 15 feel which has escalated a lot to today. The first submarine was tested in the english chanel, its didnt make it all the way across before it had to be a float.

The Train

Feb 22, 1776

It started off in Germany as a small project to transport goods from farm to farm with out having to walk or use cattle. It was the first invention that made travel easier. It took a days ride on a horse and turned it into a 4 hour ride. They were steem powered and didnt have to make many stops. This is what made them some what efficiant. There werent many obsticles that you would run into on a rail road track. America sent out workers to install irons rails and wood planks throught out America.

First Car

Mar 17, 1872

The car was created by a man in China named Ferdinand Verbiest and it was steem powered. This car has evovled into something so much more than what it was at that time. Before the car traveling was hard and expensive. Im not saying that the car wasnt expensive, because it was, im saying that it made it alot more excesable for the average person to travel wherever they need. For family or for pay, there was always a way. It also started to create classes amongst society.

Commercial Air Plane

Jan 14, 1914

This invention is the most impotant from this time era even if it is from the beginning of the century. This changed the way people thought about traveling. Society could go from country to country with in a day but more specificly they could travel to family and friends in a short period of time. This helped with jobs and would create a gateway for more types of trades with other countrys. We use planes in our every day lives even if we arent on them.

Ipod

Nov 1, 2001

This invention is a hand free device for listening to music. Its small and portable for use while on the go and or just sitting at home listening to music. This new technology changed society alot. It was almost like a virus, i dont know if it was because of how it looked or just because it was produced by apple but America wanted it, and alot of it. If you walk into a home today almost every single house will have atleast 1 apple product with in it. It may seem simple but it worked.
