    TECHNOLOGY OF DIFFERENT AGES

    What Is Technology?
    Technology is the technical means
    or method used by people to
    improve their lives and
    environment.
    Developments in information ages and their
    features.
    Through the ages, technology has developed just as humans
    have also developed. Trend in technological developments are
    highlighted below;

    1. The Stone age


    The stone age began over 2 million years ago and was
    experienced in Asia, Africa and Europe. The Stone Age
    was an ancient time period when people made tools
    from stone.
    Fire, stone tools and weapons, and clothing were
    technological developments of major importance during
    this period.
    STONE TOOLS
    The Bronze Age
    The Bronze Age was a period of time between
    1800 BC and 2000 BC when bronze was used
    widely to make tools, weapons, and other
    implements.
    The bronze age succeeds the Copper age
    Bronze is a mixture of copper and tin,
    creating a stronger substance.
    BRONZE TOOLS AND WEAPONS
    The Iron Age
    The iron age began around 1200BC and it was a
    primitive technological period. The Iron Age
    involved the adoption of iron smelting
    technology.
    The iron age generally replaced bronze, and
    made it possible to produce stronger, cheaper
    and lighter tools.

    Note: The 3 primitive ages are: stone age,


    bronze age and iron age
    The Middle Ages
    The Middle ages was the period of the
    12th and 13th centuries. Major
    technological advances included the
    invention of the windmill, the first
    mechanical clocks, the manufacture of
    gun powder, eyeglasses and the use of
    the astrolabe.
    The Industrial Age
    The industrial age was between the 18th and 19th
    centuries and it was characterized by availability
    of electricity and the development of factories
    for large-scale production.
    Features of the industrial age
    1. Discovery of electricity
    2. Industrial production of goods
    3. Massive improvement in technology
    4. Introduction of turbines and internal-
    combustion engines.
    INDUSTRIAL MACHINES
    The Electronic Age
    This period began in 1951 with the invention of
    the electronic calculators, computers as well as
    other electronic devices.
    Features of the electronic age
    1. Discovery of various electronic machines.
    2. Invention of the computer
    3. Invention of electronic diodes, vacuum tubes
    and integrated circuits
    ELECTRONIC DEVICES
    The Information Age
    The Information Age (also known as the
    Computer Age, Digital Age, or New Media Age)
    is a period in human history characterized by
    inventions. It created an economy based on
