’99 helped design and build the original backbone of the internet. Stevens’ Immersion Lab displays complex data on large-format monitors. Members of the 16 Greek-Letter organizations at Stevens form life-long networks of brothers or sisters, and strive to live up to their common values and the university’s principles to community, leadership and scholarship.

But more extensive use of wind and water power required another invention.
Many negative impacts of technology can be mitigated through technological innovations like renewable energy in transportation and industry, genetically modified crops to address soil depletion, and space exploration to mitigate global catastrophic risks.
It didn’t take long to discover that wheeled wagons could be used to carry heavy loads and fast potters’ wheels enabled early mass production of pottery.
Though technology has harmed the planet in our overuse of the planet’s resources, technology could be the answer to many of the climate problems we face today.
The advantages of copper tools over stone, bone and wooden tools were quickly apparent to early humans, and native copper was probably used from near the beginning of Neolithic times .

Put together, the Roman aqueducts extended over 450 km, but less than 70 km of this was above ground and supported by arches. The performance-based exams certify foundational IT skills across a variety of devices and operating systems. Our modern student accommodation is just minutes away from the AUT City or North Campus. Henry L. Gantt, Class of 1884, developed the Gantt chart, a bar chart for tracking construction project schedules that’s an industry mainstay still in wide use today. ’41 won the 1995 Nobel Prize for Physics for the first detection of the neutrino, a subatomic particle whose detection is a keystone to understanding elementary particle physics.

Man’s technological ascent began in earnest in what is known as the Neolithic period (“New stone age”). The invention of polished stone axes was a major advance because it allowed forest clearance on a large scale to create farms. Additionally, children could contribute labor to the raising of crops more readily than they could to the hunter-gatherer lifestyle. To make a stone tool, a “core” of hard stone with specific flaking properties was struck with a hammerstone.

The first uses of iron alloys such as steel dates to around 1400 B.C.E. Other technological advances made during the Paleolithic era were clothing and shelter; the adoption of both technologies cannot be dated exactly, but they were a key to humanity’s progress. As the Paleolithic era progressed, dwellings became more sophisticated and more elaborate; as early as 380,000 B.C.E., humans were constructing temporary wood huts. Clothing, adapted from the fur and hides of hunted animals, helped humanity expand into colder regions; humans began to migrate out of Africa by 200,000 B.C.E. and into other continents, such as Eurasia.

Comb jellies lack the most impressive ‘technology’ of jellyfish – the nematocyst stinging apparatus which is one of the most deadly weapons and fastest cellular processes in nature.

The use of basic technology is also a feature of other species apart from humans. These include primates such as chimpanzees, some dolphin communities, and crows. Taken to extreme, some argue that technicism is the belief that humanity will ultimately be able to control the entirety of existence using technology.
