NST2602 – Assignment 2
, Question 1:
Renaissance period:
This era was marked by profound technical advancements like the printing press,
linear perceptivity, patent law and double-shell domes. Leonardo da Vinci note books
provided a deep insight into mechanical technology. Architects and engineers were
inspired. The large crane was developed to lift masonry stones to the top of
structures. Military technology developed rapidly with widespread use of the
crossbow and ever more powerful artillery. Science and technology began a cycle of
mutual advancement. Renaissance science spawned the Scientific Revolution.
The time period would be roughly between the 14th century and the 17th century.
20th Century period:
20th Century technology developed rapidly. Communication technology,
transportation technology, broad teaching and the implementation of scientific
methods came to the fore. Improved research spending all provided to the
advancement of modern science and technology. Owing to the scientific gains
directly tied to military research and development, technologies, including electronic
computing, might have developed as rapidly as they did in part because of war.
Radio, radar, and early sound recording were key tools which paved the way for the
telephone, fax machine and magnetic storage of data. Energy and engine
technology upgrades were also vast, including nuclear power. Transportation by
rocketry was another milestone in the 20th century. Making use of computers and
advanced research laboratories, modern scientists discovered recombinant DNA.
The time period: the 20th Century began on the 1st of January 1901 and ended on the
31st of December 2000.
4th Industrial revolution period:
Technology is developing more rapidly, especially in electronics and biotechnology.
Broadband internet access has become commonplace in developed countries, as
has connecting home computers with music libraries and mobile phones. The
understanding of particle physics is also expected to develop through particle
accelerator tasks. This period did not only go about the smart machines, but its
scope was also much wider. In this revolution, emerging technologies and broad-
based innovation are diffusing much faster and more widely than in previous ones,
which continue to unfold in some parts of the world.
The time period: the 21st Century
