 ANCIENT TIME
Ancient civilizations made significant and
important contributions in all fields of life for
humankind. These contributions allowed
humans to develop and function better in
their daily lives. This consequently causes
specialization and modernization, which
eases such operations even more. Below is a
list of some of these contributions.
Art and engineering were present in their
buildings
Irrigation canals made the area the biggest
grain producer in the ancient world
The origins of the scientific method can also
be dated back to the Egyptians
The manufacture of glass was used on a daily
basis and as an ornament in tombs
They invented sailing as a mode of transport.
Alchemy also originated in ancient Egypt.
They discovered the calendar of 365 and a

The Use of Iron and Mining in the Middle
Ages One of the most important
developments in the Middle Ages was the
experimentation and developments in iron
production. As noted by Bert Hall in his
essay, "Iron is one of the most useful metals
ever discovered, but it is also one of the
more difficult metals to understand in
history, especially in medieval history. Iron
comes in several forms, and the
complications involved in producing each of
them fosters further confusion."
Spinning wheel
In the 13th century, the spinning wheel
was the first improvement made in the
process of cotton spinning. The Great or
Jersey wheel, introduced around 1350,
could be spun faster on the wheel than
with the traditional distaff. A foot treadle
that powered the wheel was also
introduced
Gun Powder
With the advent of gunpowder in Europe, the nature of
warfare changed radically. This had a deep impact on
the social and political outlook of late medieval
Europe. In many ways, the arrival of guns also
contributed to the transition of Europe from the
medieval to Renaissance periods. Gunpowder is
Considered the most important military invention of
the medieval period.
MODERN TIMES
About 200 years ago the pace of
technological change in western society
began to quicken. Today, the system by
which research and development leads to
new products is fundamentally different that
it was in the nineteenth century, To the role
of the individual inventor has been added the
power of organized scientific research and
technological innovation. Organized research
and development, which are increasingly
international in character, have greatly
increased the production of new knowledge.
The telegraph and, later the telephone
carried communication across the country
side. The electric lightning supplanted the
dim glow of candles, kerosene, and gas
lights. The automobile and the airplane
change not only travel but the nature of our
cities and towns. Radio and then television
brought more of the outside world into
everyone's homes. Knowledge about the
cause of disease brought new treatment and
prevent measures. Computers appeared

quarter days, the most scientific calendar of Printing press

ancient times. During the early 15th century, methods of
printing books were already available. But
the traditional printing techniques were slow,
cumbersome and highly expensive, making it
virtually impossible to print books in bulk.
Gutenberg had an experience in metalwork,
goldsmithing, gem-polishing and later as a
publisher and printer as well. It was drawing
on his vast skill set that Gutenberg
endeavored to create a printing press that
was more rapid.
Eyeglasses
Eyeglasses were one of the most important inventions of the
medieval period. The earliest extant historical source
mentioning eyeglasses in Europe dates back to the 14th
century. This early form of eyeglasses used convex lenses,
suitable only for people with farsightedness. The eyeglasses
are a critically important social invention in that before they
became available, poor eyesight usually deteriorated over time
and there was little the contemporary physicians could do. The
earliest evidence for eyeglasses using concave lens and meant
to resolve nearsightedness date back to the 16th century.
