Global impact of industry

Life was different after the industrialization because they reduced child labor and the amount of hours women worked. They also had better sanitation and less people died before or at the age of 30. So, this was for the better.
The conditions for the people in the cities where crucial because no one really had any space. 63 people lived in one house with only seven rooms. Houses where crowded together and open sewer lines ran through their neighborhood. This caused a lot of diseases. The working conditions where also bad because people worked for long hours, even women and children. They where worked harder and was still payed less the the men. People would die at work. Machines would blow up in mines while people where deep underground and the machines sometime would even rip peoples arms and hands off.
The industrialization affected the family because whole families would have to work just to make ends meet. For me the worst negative consequence was that children would have to work for long hours and some of the would become deformed. The world has changed now because we have new conditions like sanitation, our own space, and way better working conditions. The negative consequences in the modern world is that if you dont have a certain type of degree from school, you cant really get a good job. A positive in the industrialization is the while making these people work hard, The produced a lot of what they needed.

TED Talks

I watched the TED talk by Dan Berkenstock. Dan talked about how satellites are expensive to send out into space. So, he developed a new satellite that was actually better , like taking better pictures and also less expensive. This is similar to my big question because it is about developing new technology to make the world better.

New Technology

Technology is becoming bigger everyday, like robots
  People have been trying to build robots that act, move, and think like humans.
Recently Scientist in the University of California (UC) Berkeley have created a sensor so that robots
can feel and sense things the come in contact with. They call these sensors cat whiskers, this also helps robots navigate through obstacles and space.
   I think this is pretty cool because robots can now navigate without the humans complete help.
I wonder what scientist will event next

When did the internet come to? When did the internet start to become popular?

 It came from the development of computers in the 1950's. The internet was first used to send messages to others through ARPANet from computer science professor Leonard Kleinrock's laboratory at University of California. The internet was first used for work. Today the internet is used for anything you can think of. From entertainment to finding information to working .



Today the internet takes a big part of our lives. So much that we are addicted to it and use it in our everyday lives.

Why did people start making technology

People started making technology because the wanted to gain better techniques and tools that help them in need. One of the first most popular technologies is the creation of the wheel. Wheels helped people move things around by making wagons and carts. The first wheel was made in the 4th millennium BC. We still use wheels today. Mostly for transportation purposes. 
When someone invents something, it gives other people ideas. which  results in other people trying to build off of the original idea and making it more advanced.

What motivates people to invent new technology?



What motivates people to make new technology is mostly the competition. Because people are always trying to see who can do it better. For instance, Phone companies. They are always competing to see if they can make the fastest, best looking, or best quality Phone. And when someone gets the best hits, this makes the other person want to invent something better.
   Although some people do actually want to make new technology to make people better and make them happy. Like Google. Google is coming up with new ideas to make things better for people.

Has technology changed us




The Internet has changed us because you can literally do anything from anywhere on a computer or a phone and anything that has internet access. You can do anything from like communication, finding information, to entertainment. Businesses also changed from technology because it helps them work faster and if they have faster work their businesses improves. But it also makes people lazy because they can sit at home and do nothing all day and just work over the internet or play games. Some people complain that we have too much technology and that we need not to rely so much on it.  Because if something where to go wrong with technology, we would be in big trouble. 
 
Connection:
I think the technology has some pros and cons. Technology is good because you can do almost anything you desire any at any time and from anywhere. And the reason why it would be bad is because people can use technology for evil and it also makes us as people lazy. Because we dont have to do to much when we use technology.
