The history of technology is a history related to the tools and technologies or techniques of human invention that can ultimately be used to facilitate human activity itself. The history of technology begins with the emergence of human species on the face of the earth, traces of equipment and technology that humans have possessed since the beginning of civilization discovered, then reconstructed historically and then analyzed in relation to the development of human civilization. The history of human technology starts from simple things such as language development, stone-to-complicated tool making as well as quantum computers. The development of an applicative technology can be viewed from the needs of humans themselves such as addressing climate and climate change, facing the attacks of wild animals, facilitate economic activities to war. But technology can also evolve from the theoretical aspect that is based only on human curiosity about natural phenomena that occur around it, such as the invention of the law of gravity and calculus by Isaac Newton and Leibniz. Science and technology are two things that can not be separated as well as its history and development. However, of course, there can be striking differences when discussing the history and development of technology, the history of technology discusses the applied aspects of science, such as the invention of equipment or techniques to facilitate a human activity. While the history of science has a wider cangkupan because it studies a natural phenomenon or symptoms that occur in human life based on theoretical aspects or related to the abstract things mathematically to the realm of philosophy. Since technology is an applicative thing, technological developments greatly influence the changing economic, social, political, and cultural activities of human life, so the history of technology can also be reconstructed based on these changes. [1] The history of technology discusses the development of technology in general. Science and technology is a very broad thing. For more accurate details of the history and development of a field of science or technology, it is more appropriate if the history of a field of science or technology is reviewed one by one based on the field
Anthropologist Lewis H. Morgan argues that technological development is a major factor in the development of human civilization. So that the historical reconstruction and development of human technology can be done through the timeline of the development of human civilization itself. [1] The timeline can be divided into sections, then attached to the new technology or equipment at the time. In addition, the increase in economic productivity indicates the existence of a new technology or equipment found in a civilization, so that historical data from increasing economic productivity can be attributed to the discovery of a new tool or technology.The latest and most sophisticated technology is also commonly seen in fictional movies or game worlds. Well, this Jet Pack became one of the advanced technology on film that is realized in the real world. This tool is able to make humans fly by using jets using gas fuel. The Jet Pack is manufactured by the company TAM, which is the first and only company in the world to have manufactured this advanced tool. The company produces Jet Pack with a complete package of costumes designed by Rocket Belt. The Jet Pack is made from aerospace materials equipped with special refining machines. The engine works to produce hydrogen peroxide fuel. It can fly up to 1,000 meters above sea level and stay in the air for 30 minutes. Not only that speed reached 119 kilo meters per hour.
