Technology and engineering
For everyone
Technology is the turning of knowledge into tools, machines and systems. Many inventions, from the wheel to the printing press and from the aeroplane to the internet, changed how people live, work and communicate. Who an invention belongs to and how much it changed society are often disputed. Most major inventions arose gradually, in different places and with contributions from many people.
For specialists
In the history of technology, "lone inventor" stories have increasingly given way to approaches that stress simultaneous invention, networks and infrastructure. The spread of an invention depends on materials, cost, institutions and regulation. The technologies in this branch are closely tied to inventions in the energy and computing branches (the steam engine, the transistor).
Claims
- Major technological changes are mostly the product of long-term contributions by many people and institutions rather than a single person.[1]
