The Gilded Age was a time where industrialization, urbanization, and the perilous journeys to the west. While the Gilded age was governed by the likes or Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, and John D Rockefeller. But many forget the technological advancements of Fords Engine that led way to the worlds first car, or perhaps Tomas Edison D.C light bulb. Evan Nikolai Tesla's A.C light bulb led the way for innovation with in america. Lets not also forget Tomas Edison electric chair powered by A.C currents.…

Imagine a world that takes forever to receive and send a photo or message. A place where to keep an image, you must contain it in your mind. Think of a place where everything is here one minute and gone the next, and there is no way to share it. Imagine what life was like without advanced technology, and how our ancestors survived it. Compared to back then, our technology has improved on a very large scale.…

While Tesla was under Edison, JP Morgan was trying to find an industry that he could rise from the ground, and that's when he found Edison with electricity and the light bulb.…
As I read the article,’’At the Intersection of Technology and Humanity,” by Wendy Dubit,. sShe made valid points on the good and evil technology brings to kids. She even made an effort to point out how organizations were teaming up together to provide the wiring of technology for kids in schools, after hours programs and even in Boys and Girls club. Now based on that previous statement, if organizations are teaming up to enclose the digital gap between some of the less fortunatee, technology couldn’t be that evil as expressed because organizations wouldn’t be involved if putting in computers where damaging the youth. So my question to you: Is technolgy evil or helping children?…
The 1970's saw several dramatic steps forwards in science and technology. Discoveries physics, biology, and technology defined a new generation of scientists. Addition to, advances in technologies like lasers, the integrated circuit, and the supercomputer afforded scientists with new tools to tackle questions that had never before been approachable. Thanks to the 1970’s technologies, The first general microprocessor, Intel 4004 came out in November 1971. The difference between the 70’s and now is that it holds a lot more information on it.…
The battle between good and evil can now be directed towards our generation. We mostly grown up on all the newest electronics, which can be a downfall. It can starts to affect our physical and mental health. It doesn’t affect us if we aren’t on it all the time but when we are on them constantly are generation starts to struggle. Especially with social media, we are constantly on it all the time, even without thinking about it.…

The history of computing technology can be organized into four distinct generations, each defined by a distinct transformation in technological innovation. The first generation stretched from 1947-1957, and is identifiable by its use of vacuum tube technology. This generation transitioned into the second generation during the late 1950’s with the use of transistors. Subsequently in the 1960’s the third generation began, classified by its use of integrated circuits. The fourth generation of computers became prominent in the 1970’s with use of microprocessors, and some argue that 2016 computers continue to be part of this fourth generation of technology.…
