Technology Has Changed The World In The Late 19th Century

On the brink of discovery there is a thrilling glow of hope and promise. The hope of a betterment of life as it is and the promise of something new and exciting. The turn of the twentieth century was this threshold of opportunity and anticipation, and a booming era for scientists and inventors alike. Between 1900 and 1920 a plethora of modern day conveniences and concepts were brought to life. Without this unique period in time civilization might have had to do without escalators, Gillette’s double edged safety razor, modern vacuum cleaners, air conditioning, the Teddy Bear, crayons, airplanes, E=mc2, automobiles, Life Savers candy, and the bra, just to name a few.1 Along with the glitter of innovation can come an unintentional (and sometimes

Technology has changed drastically from the 1970s to now. We have exceeded what most people back then could ever imagine. The technology used in schools, homes, and in public places has evolved into technology that makes the “cutting edge” technology of the 70s look very simple. Things such as the personal computer, the cell phone, electronic games, TVs, and even watches have changed completely. The ways that they have exceeded expectations is truly unbelievable.

Technology has changed remarkably over the last one hundred years. First, the way that we use books has changed. Another way is the way we play games. The way we communicate with each other has changed drastically over the last century as well. At this rate, with technology growing every day, we can see the “new” technology that we have right now is already being replaced with something else that is “new.”

In this world where people can acquire anything they need or want, we have to wonder, “Is the government controlling us?” Both the governments in A Brave New World and in the United States of America offer birth control pills and have abortion clinics that are available for everyone, thus making birth control pills and abortion operations very easy to acquire. Although both governments offer birth control pills and abortion clinics, A Brave New World’s government requires everyone to take the pills and immediately get an abortion when pregnant. This in turn shows us that A Brave New World’s government is controlling the population and the development of children. China is one of the few countries that currently have control of the

In the 1900’s, inventors were very motivated to push their developments into society and make their creations known. Some popular innovations include the escalator, the very first radio receiver, teabags, the electric washing machine, refrigerators, disposable razors, the vacuum and the first synthetic plastic called BakeLite, used for packaging. All these products have become household items

For the world to grow and become a place not ruled by the overly wealthy and run by only those who can win a war, all of the nations around the world have to become independant and have the ability to produce items to ship to other nations. Ehrenreich talks about how an American reporter lost his job because he was “pretending to report from sites around the world while he was actually holed up in his Brooklyn apartment” She asks why this American lost his job for doing exactly what entire companies are doing. Zakaria talks about power shifts and how we are going “through a third power shift” which means that the shift of power is dissipating from America to the rest of the world. America used to be the top of many lists for holding records such as tallest building, richest man, and leading financial center; however, many of the records are now held by another county. This is a very good representation of the shift of power, and although companies are outsourcing jobs, they are not getting rid of them completely. An American can still get the job but it might not be in America, which again proves the power shift to include the rest of the world and make the global economy better, and not have just an American economy. The world of today is a place where a person can go from New York to Beijing in a little over 12 hours and because of this it can be said that a person has the ability to move with a job if it is a job they truly

     To help young Americans become effective young productive adults in service to something that has been defined as a way of life.

Who will establish the future foundation of America? In society we view the high entitled people as our leaders to engage a part of prosperity for America's future, the true leaders of our country is our children and youth. They will become the government, Lawyers, teachers and doctors of tomorrow. There are many youth around the world are faced with highly competitive challenges in their life. As youth and I include myself we imitate what we see. In fact particularly violence.

An article from The Huffington Post claims study's by the College Board found that "Those who have completed additional schooling are no only more well-equipped to handle mental challenges, but also report a higher level of satisfaction when doing so" (Life). More people can be more satisfied by the life they choose and help others pick the same. More People going to college can have people living a different life than before with better quality for their family, friends, and others. If mostly everyone choose to go to college our society can change our life's on how we live.Our society would be much different by, raising the quality of life people wouldn’t have to rely on the government for

1. Describe some of the events and scientific discoveries that shook the late nineteenth century’s confidence in the idea of progress. What effect did these events have on music, literature, and the arts?

The 20th century brought with it a rapid expansion of the global interrelatedness of the world. In the beginning of the 20th century the world was dominated by a European world system of colonial empires that was created through expansion by sea (Findley, 2011). The competition between Britain and the other colonial powers led to an insatiable appetite to expand their empires across the globe (Findley, 2011). As the 20th century progressed this European world system collapsed and a new three world system of the United States, Soviet Union, and the rest of the world emerged (Findley, 2011). The end of the century coincided with a new era of globalization that was made possible by the introduction of global communication via the internet (Findley, 2011). This new technology brought the entire world closer together than it had ever been before. The four events that best illustrate the progression of global interrelatedness throughout the 20th century are the Great Depression, World War II, Cold War, and the introduction of instant global communications via the internet.

This is related to technology and outsourcing as a by product of this new technology. The personal computer allowed more and more people to engineer their own life digitally. They could now send pictures, media, data, messages, and even market new products due to a little thing we call the internet. Over the years it has developed in ways that would have been unimaginable in the past. All due to thin tubes of glass that transmit electrical signals efficiently and speedily. Because of their thinness many are able to being clumped together allowing more information to be sent in bulk. These cables came to be known as fiber optic cables. Outsourcing, the practice of sending work to other non local companies to be finished, edited, or for other various reasons, was made possible due of the internet and new technologies such as these fiber optic cables. It also allowed more communication between foreign countries, such as India ;which was a very significant outsourcing center in the world due to cheap labor and their advancing capital Dubai. Not only did American countries benefit from outsourcing , but India did as well. Outsourcing provided more jobs for young Indians and helped boost the economy, making it more possible for them to support and provide for their families. Therefore globalization of this kind does unite countries, including developing countries,

The earth is considered as one of the most beautiful planets in the universe. It is the only planet in our galaxy that has enough water to support life. Unfortunately our planet is suffering due to many problems which should be solved before it is too late. The major problems that are facing our world today are population, pollution and animal extinction.

In the new global economy, the US may no longer easily dominate. As a result of the flat world, new parts of the world are beginning to successfully compete. Two of the more powerful ones are India and China. These emerging nations are now competing not just for low-wage manufacturing and information labor but, increasingly, for the highest-end research and design work as well. As Friedman mentions in his triple convergence, roughly 3 billion people from India, Russia, Eastern Europe, Latin America and Asia are now joining this, "plug and play" world in which they can basically compete and collaborate equally. While these nations certainly pose a threat to historical U.S. and European prosperity and power, the proper response is not to fight it, but rather to embrace it, in order to thrive in the new world.
