EARLY vs RECENT TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS

Technological developments evolve from earlier ones to recent inventions.From the introduction of electricity,combustion engine and telephone to jet engine and the internet,people lives have been changed tremendously.In my opinion,both early and recent developments in technology have significant impact upon us.

It is an obvious fact that earlier inventions have changed our lives significantly. Since the invention and later ubiquitous availability of electricity,for instance,people enjoy using it regardless of social status.Almost every households use not only electric lights but different electrical equipment to fulfil varying needs at home as well as outdoor.Moreover,earlier communication device like telephone has changed the way ordinary people and privileged ones communicate.Furthermore,invention of combustion engine fundamentally transformed the mode we travel.

Similarly, recent developments also have its own virtues and substantial influence.Personal computer and the internet, for examples, fundamentally change the way we get information,communicate and entertain ourselves or doing business.Likewise,with the development of the jet engine,air travel become much easier and faster.

Obviously,these developments change people lives including ordinary folks,not just in the past but in the present and the foreseeable future as well.On closer look, recent developments utilize earlier ones,thereby creating new inventions.In case of personal computer and the internet,it is obvious that they would not have come into existence without electricity being developed before .

All in all, people lives have been improved significantly as a result of both early and recent developments.
