History of science and technology

disrupt the society is closely watched by the Party. Although 1984 is set in the future, there is no significant advancement of technology. On the contrary, Oceania has virtually no technology because the Party despises “real” science, and the methods used to obtain scientific research, and thus real science has been abolished. There are some elements of technology offered by Orwell, such as the two-way television screens, the novel-writing machines and the ever-present surveillance equipment

is character.” This stimulating quote from Albert Einstein, one of the brightest scientists in history, shows how scientific ability is based on brainpower and the dedication of a person. The Academy for the Advancement of Science and Technology at the Bergen Academies (AAST) is right for me because I am passionate about science, I would receive countless unique opportunities there, and I feel science causes a positive difference in the world. It is unchallenging for a person to do something that

Technology and Society There is a town in eastern Pennsylvania called Centralia. It was a mining town fairly typical of Pennsylvania in the 1880’s. Today it is virtually a ghost town. Interestingly, it has not been degraded due to the decline in the demand for coal. The decline in population in Centralia is due to a mine fire that was started in 1962 and has still not been extinguished today. Many discussions these days of coal energy and society would include such topics as the pervasiveness

the modern world.” While the Netflix television series, like many works of science fiction, centers on the dangers of technology—the “black mirrors” that are our phone and computer screens—its warnings diverge drastically from those present in canonical mid-20th century works, like George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. In Nineteen Eighty-Four, man uses technology to oppress others. In “Black Mirror,” man uses technology to enslave himself. In Speculative Everything: Design, Fiction,

Science fiction is filled with a wide variety of technologies. Sometimes the technology presented is merely a transposition of existing technologies into the story. At other times, the author takes existing technologies and extrapolates potential novel technology with uncanny accuracy. In both cases, existing technologies have an obvious impact upon the author. Written during the first generation of electronic computers, Starman Jones (1953) and "A Logic Named Joe" (1946) provide excellent examples

THE INNOVATIVE RISE AND EFFECTS OF COMPUTER CORPORATIONS According to “The History, Development, and Importance of Personal Computers” of Science and Its Times, in 2001, estimates believed that “there will be 2 billion PCs in use worldwide as of 2014.” Today, computers have changed our modern society. Almost every human being is using a computer either by ordering out a drive thru at a fast food restaurant or even just surfing the web. Computers allow the world to be interconnected and people from

the people of the world, where technology was being used as the primary weapon against freedom by governments. The Soviet Union at his time was a key influence for Orwell’s development of 1984, the book he wrote to warn people of greedy governments who cared not for the people, but rather sought to abuse new technologies to increase their control over the people. Orwell saw, in countries like Russia, the beginning of a new type of dictatorship that used technology to effectively to create a solid

people lost protection, so warlords offered a defense in exchange for food. Feudalism emerged from this simple system. By the eleventh century, the High Middle Ages emerged launching numerous Crusades. The Crusades regained innovations in science and technology that developed more of an education. But, the Crusades led to the decline of feudalism. Between the two ages, it differs from knowledge and the amount of
