Directions: Using the presentations linked on my website (and on this handout) and
Google Classroom and your AMSCO book (chapters 9.1 - 9.3), complete this digital
handout.
9.1 Advances in Technology and Exchange After 1900
Learning Objective Historical Developments
Explain how the development of New modes of communication—including radio communication, cellular communication, and
the internet—as well as transportation, including air travel and shipping containers, reduced
new technologies changed the the problem of geographic distance.
world from 1900 to present
Energy technologies, including the use of petroleum and nuclear power, raised productivity
and increased the production of material goods
More effective forms of birth control gave women greater control over fertility, transformed
reproductive practices, and contributed to declining rates of fertility in much of the world
The Green Revolution and commercial agriculture increased productivity and sustained the
earth’s growing population as it spread chemically and genetically modified forms of
agriculture.
Medical innovations, including vaccines and antibiotics, increased the ability of humans to
survive and live longer lives.
Changes brought by new technologies Continuities
from 1900 to the present.
List at least six changes: List at least three continuities:
You will have a device in your pocket that can A lot of oil or other fossil fuels are also being used in
interact with the computer of someone in your pocket. power cities, etc.
● The modern genetically engineered plants and ● Cars are also the most frequent route
effective methods of production are more people ● The military also accounts for the majority of country
than underweight funding
● The invention of big transport ships and shipping
containers will cost goods from other countries less
than $1. An example of these prices is the banana
that cost less in the US than an apple grown in the
region.
● WLAN connects computers of communities to
computers of other citizens
● Rockets that have reduced the expense of space
exploration by more than half
● New forms of green energy like Solar and Wind
which is playing a major role in reducing our
dependency on oil and natural gas
