内容简介

The advancements made possible by technology--from the printed pages that spurred the Protestant Reformation to the Web pages that today transmit information across the globe--have dramatically changed the history of humankind. While chronicling the development of the world's most influential technologies, TRANSFORMING POWER OF TECHNOLOGY examines how, as humanity transforms technology, technology, in turn, transforms us. Newcomen's first steam engine radically altered the way that labor could be accomplished. Incredible strides in technology increased productivity and ushered in the Industrial Revolution.
