Technology and society
Technology
changes the way we work in many ways. One of the first industrial machines used
water to replace some of the work
done by animals. in 1781, James Watt invented a steam engine that did the work
of 10 horses. It seemed unlikely
that these engines would change how people lived and worked. However, within 100 years,
the work of some steam engines was equal
to that of 10,000 horses. Because of this, fewes farmers were needed on the
farms. Workers moved to the city to work in the new factories. At first, life
for the workers was difficult.Then, they go together to form workers unions and began to fight for better
wages. Later, electricity changed people's lives again, and them came
automobiles. More recently, computers have changed our lives once again.
The next big new technology will be robots. The best application for robots is in areas that
are dangerous. Today, robots work side by side with people to provide military security. in the army, they fly over an enemy and send back information. Some have guns and can fight alogside soldiers.
Another area where robots are useful is clearing up dangerous industrial waste.The
waste can cause diseases, such as
cancer. Robots will change our lives just as steam engines did.
