WHAT ARE TECHNICAL CREATIONS? - TECHNOLOGY - 2024

Technical creations are all those advances, innovations and inventions that have developed since the human being is a thinking creature. We talk from the creation of the wheel and paper to the development of advanced technologies. These developments demonstrate how life and culture have evolved from prehistoric times to the present day.

These technical creations, or technological inventions, are characterized by being introduced into society as novelties to later become common elements of daily life.

Relevant technical creations

1- Personal computers

Personal computers are one of the most relevant technological inventions of our time. These tools have evolved from colossal systems weighing 30 tons to compact devices weighing no more than 3 kilos.

One of the first computers to be created was the Turing machine, developed during World War II to decode messages exchanged by German forces.

The invention of personal computers occurred in 1970 and many more advances have been made in this area since then.

2- Cell phones

Since ancient times, communication has been an essential element to ensure success in various situations, such as war and interpersonal relationships.

Previously, other methods of communication were used, such as letters and telegraphs; however, today's mobiles offer instant communication that is unprecedented.

In addition, smartphones that have been developed in recent years also offer the functions of a personal computer.

3- GPS

GPS, or Goblal Positioning System, is a useful tool for obtaining directions.

At first, in the 1970s, this system was not available to everyone, but was only used in the US military.

However, today it can be integrated into almost any other technological device (cars, cell phones) available to everyone.

4- Internet

Compared to other inventions, such as the telescope or the microscope, the Internet is relatively new. However, in its few decades of existence, it has changed the way life unfolds today.

The Internet was developed during the 1960s and has been available to all audiences since the 1990s.

Since then, it has revolutionized the way we communicate (thanks to the development of social networks and electronic mass media) or the way we learn (thanks to electronic books and the development of information technologies), among other aspects of our life

5- Bluetooth

Bluetooth has existed since the 1990s, but it was not until the early years of the 21st century that this type of technology began to be incorporated into cell phones and computers.

Currently, as with GPS, almost any technological device includes bluetooth, allowing information to be shared without the need for the internet.
