TECHNOLOGY


Food Production


Technological innovation in food
production was evidenced by
irradiation technique, a treatment by
electromagnetic rays, and
accelerated freeze drying to reserve
foods. There was increased
mechanism of farming with the
widespread use of pesticides and
herbicides.
Scientific farming with careful
breeding controlled feeding and
mechanized handling techniques
were also learned.
Aquaculture for farming the sea
and the seabed, and hydroponics
for food production without using
soil is being booked into the worlds
food so as to increase supply.
CIVIL
ENGINEERING
New engineering techniques have not
influenced the construction industry,
since manual labor was still needed.
However, in 1945, the heavy bulldozer
and tower crane becomes important
new equipment. Home systems like as
plumbing and heating food that had
begun before World War II continued
progressing with a proliferation of
electrical equipment.
TRANSPORTATION
Transport development was seen in the
early 20
th
century. The automobile
grew in popularity, causing changes in
life patterns. Air transport flourished
after World War II with direct
passenger flights across the Atlantic.
The first airliners were those
developed from war experience from
Douglas DC-3 in the 1930s. the 1950s
witnessed the coming of big jet-
powered civil airliners.
Vertical takeoff and landing techniques
of an aircraft were successfully
pioneered by a British military airplane,
the Hawker Siddely Harrier. Air
cushion vehicles were developed from
the Hovercraft, one of the most
outstanding technological innovations
of 1945. Its main feature is a
downblast or air creating an air cushion
which the craft rides without direct
contact with the sea or the ground
below it.

For nearly 30 years, a supersonic
flight which is an exclusive military
and research aircraft was realized
commercially in 1975. This is the
Soviet Tu-144 cargo plane in 1976.
Regular passemger service was
rendered by the Concorde Supersonic
Transport(SSST), a joint project of
the British and French governments.
COMMUNICATIONS

Fast development was seen in the
growth of television services that
influenced media and mass
communications in the 1920s and
1930s.
RADARS
commonly used
on ships,
airplanes, and in
military stations
to give early
warning signal
against aerial or
sea attacks.
transistor
for computers,
control
engineering,
and
communication
techniques.

Space satellites
was developed
in the 1960s for
telephone
communication
as well as
relaying
meteorological
photos and data.

Magnetic tape
a means of
recording
sound and
vision.
Printing technique
PHOTOTYPE
conventional
metal type
replaced by
photographic
image.
XEROGRAPHY
dry copying
process; ink
powder
attracted to
image to be
copied by static
electricity and
fused by
heating.

OPTICAL DEVICES
zoom lenses
with increased
power of
camera and
improved film in
cinema and
television.
LASER TECHNIQUE
Light Amplification
by Stimulated
Emission of
Radiation is a
powerful means of
communication by
long distance. It is
also used in
surgical techniques.
ELECTROMAGNETIC
WAVES
used instead of
light to venture
into the
structure of
the universe by
radio telescope
and x-ray
telescope.

RADIO TELESCOPE
have been
directed towards
the suns closest
neighbors with
the hope of
receiving
electromagnetic
signals from other
species in the
universe.
