    The document provides a student's research topic and annotated bibliographies for their final project on the development of technology. The student's thesis is that while technology is said to lead to less social development, it has overall had a positive impact by changing how tools, machines, and automation are used. The first annotated bibliography evaluates an article about the history of technological development, from slow fabrication of tools to rapid scientific and industrial advances in the 19th century. The second bibliography summarizes a Wikipedia article that defines technological evolution in three stages from tools to machines to automation, and provides a timeline of inventions from 600 BC to present.

    Annotated Bibliography 1:
    Annotated Bibliography
    An article on the history of the development of technology. (n.d.). Retrieved February 15, 2016, from

    Technological development moved at a slow pace, this was because the fabrication of tool, with them not
    having many tools to work with it made the process of manufacturing or inventing something more difficult.
    The people built things by trial and error. During the 19th century, science was able to grow quickly. Which also
    led to technology progressing quickly. Some examples of this are Davys safety lamp and electric generator.
    Once the scientific principles were known they were then applied to make a machine. For example, an electric
    generator involves the principles of electricity, mechanical engineering, heat conduction, etc. During this period
    better engines and machines were developed as well as alternate sources of energy were found. This led to large
    scale industrialization across Europe and America. Now it was possible to produce goods on a mass scale.

    During the industrial Revolution rapid progress was made in the field of transportation. The technology of
    steam-engine was used in making railway engines and steam-powered ships. These developments helped in
    rapid transportation of goods and people. Later the development of cars and airplanes.

    This article is very useful, I liked the part where it says technology is a material object created by the
    application of mental and physical effort to nature in order to achieve some values it evolves in three stages:
    tools, machine, automation. This really made sense to be because it simplified how technology has developed
    in three words, it did go from tools between 600 BC and AD 1800, it then went to machines between AD 18001900, and then to automation. It also was able to show a historical timeline of technology and all of the
    different inventions that wee showed for each year from the early 600 BC to now. Showing how technology
    was able to progress and develop over the many years.
