Science and Technology, by Alejandro Grushka

1. Complete the abstract using these words: environment, energy, disease, applied, resources, pure, industry, poverty, computers, risks, communication, scale, geographic, human race.Man's way of life has depended on technology since the begin of civilization - the flint stone, the control of fire, the wheel, the printing press. In the earliest times significant advances were rare and they were separated by long periods of time - but their benefits, and disadvantages, were easily understood. About two hundred years ago, however, the pace quickened and in recent decades a cascade of truly disruptive advances has revolutionised the way we live. The technologies behind the advances have become increasingly complex and few people understand how they work and fewer still where they are going. The social implications of the advances have also ceased to be obvious and it has become essential that we study their social consequences.Modern technology tends to be thought of in terms of the advances brought about by computers and electronic communication but it is in transport, medicine, energy and weaponry that we have seen the greatest impact upon our lives. It is these areas that distinguish the first world from the second and third worlds. If poverty and disease are to be alleviated and the environment sustained, then technology must be harnessed on a vast and all inclusive scale . Large scale risks must be involved. Significant technology is not created by lone workers but by tens and hundreds of individuals working together across social and geographic boundaries. We must wake up to the fact that it is technologists that is determining the future of the human race. Advances require vast industry and companies that are prepared to take resources, and if Britain is to continue to play a crucial role in technology then our establishment must realise that pure science is rivaling applied science both in importance and in intellectual interest.2.

Only 712 of them survived that night. They were, of course, the passengers, officers, and crew of the White Star steamship Titanic, and they were in a sense victims of 'failures' of technology.The Titanic disaster was in the main a result of over-reach, of a gap between the achievements of some technologies and the shortcomings of others; and of managerial failures on the part of those who used the available technology. Although Titanic had a radio communications system - and it was an important factor in directing rescue vessels to her - it was a system still in its infancy Although the technology of shipbuilding already embraced double skins and water-tight bulkheads, these fell far short of the completeness that we now expect. Those navigating this huge vessel were in some important respects no further advanced than the Vikings who had sailed these same seas ten centuries before: they could locate themselves only by means of stellar observation and dead reckoning, and they had only their eyes to see what lay ahead - and this was less than a hundred years ago.The managerial failures were perhaps worse. The ship's officers were warned of ice by radio messages, which they ignored. They hadn't carried out safety drills or trained the ship's company. The ship was speeding blindly into a known danger area in order to meet her scheduled arrival time in New York. Accidents, by definition, happen. But more diligent officers, properly-trained crew, and a sufficiency of lifeboats, could have saved the majority of those lost to the depths on that dreadful April night.

-Internet and previous communication
4.
I mostly agree with the information that JJ showed in the video, but he is focused on communication and barcodes, I think barcodes are not such a big deal as relativity may be, or something like the atomic bomb, fisics,etc., or if the video would be more recent, the LHC.
5.
-Technical tools for science investigation.
-Transport.

the nature of technology

The nature of technology

El significado de la palabra “tecnología” esta inmediatamente relacionado con este tipo de cambios. En el siglo XIX, estaba referida simplemente a las artes prácticas como automovilismo, diseño do ropa, comunicaciones, etc., en cambio, a partir del siglo XX, se extendió para incluir a todo lo que se utiliza para lo material, lo que se utiliza para las necesidades y deseos del humano, y todo lo que tiene que ver con el estudio y creación de los productos tecnológicos

El significado de la palabra “tecnología” esta inmediatamente relacionado con este tipo de cambios. En el siglo XIX, se utilizaba nada mas para referirse a artes prácticas como automovilismo, diseño do ropa, comunicaciones, etc., en cambio, a partir del siglo XX, se extendió para incluir a todo lo que se utiliza para todo lo material, lo que se utiliza para las necesidades y caprichos del humano, y todo lo que tiene que ver con el estudio y creación de los productos tecnológicos.

Translating Succesfuly

Human translation:
-Advanteges: Keeps the whole meaning of the text, almost no errors, depending on the translator.
-Disadvantages: Its quite slow, Its meant to think the entire sentence before writing it, plus the writing itself
AT (Systran):
-Advantages:Its very fast, only copy the text, paste it in the translation slot, and click “translate”
-Disadvantages: As it translates word by word, it doesn’t always keep the text’s meaning.
CAT:
-Advantages: It translates not word by word, but by phrases, so it may keep the meaning.
-Disadvantages: It may use old phrases or expressions, and its slower than Systran’s.

Abstract
Man's way of life has depended on technology since the begin of civilization - the flint stone, the control of fire, the wheel, the printing press. In the earliest times significant advances were rare and they were separated by long periods of time - but their benefits, and disadvantages, were easily understood. About two hundred years ago, however, the pace quickened and in recent decades a cascade of truly disruptive advances has revolutionised the way we live. The technologies behind the advances have become increasingly complex and few people understand how they work and fewer still where they are going. The social implications of the advances have also ceased to be obvious and it has become essential that we study their social consequences.
Modern technology tends to be thought of in terms of the advances brought about by computers and electronic industry but it is in transport, medicine, commucation and weaponry that we have seen the greatest impact upon our lives. It is these areas that distinguish the first world from the second and third worlds.If disease and poverty are to be alleviated and the environment sustained, then technology must be harnessed on a vast and all inclusive scale. Large scale resources must be involved. Significant technology is not created by lone workers but by tens and hundreds of individuals working together across social and geographic boundaries. We must wake up to the fact that it is technologists that is determining the future of the human race.Advances require vast energy and companies that are prepared to take risks, and if Britain is to continue to play a crucial role in technology then our establishment must realise that pure science is rivaling aplied science both in importance and in intellectual interest.

Advances require vast resources and companies that are prepared to take risks, and if Britain is to continue to play a crucial role in technology then our establishment must realise that applied science is rivaling pure science both in importance and in intellectual interest.

Technology and Innovation

1)Innovation requires not only creative people and organizations, but also the availability of technology and science and engineering talent. Technology and innovation are synergistic.

2) Is the final result of a set of this things. Is the addition of two things that help a system to be better.

3) The letters are synergistic. Having a lot of letters alone isn’t the same as having words or paragraphs, witch are compound of letters. - Having a motor, some wheels, sits, is less than having a car, which has all that things
