Technology and the Rise of Civilizations: Historical Timeline and Technology “Revolutions”

It's very interesting that how technology has revolved over the years and play an important role in our daily life now. From the past where there isn't any telecommunications to the first telephone, to pagers to 2G mobile and now 3G mobile phone. Technology is always improving and definitely we will expect another "shift" in the next few years that could create another historical event in the revolutions.


The first lesson make me realised that technology has created the shift of "personal touch." In the past, people usually meet up face to face to communicate but currently, people uses Facebook to communicate. Technology creates efficiency but we loses the emotional part, the feelings that we could see or hear from the person we talk to using Facebook.


Technology is moving at a faster pace than we can think of. However we need to appreciate and understand how technology had created advantages and disadvantages in the world. Hence, I'm looking forward for our next few sessions to understand how technology has changed to create a dynamic world. :)
