Technology is the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry and  machinery and equipment developed from the application of scientific knowledge. Technology can help people do many things in fact basically everything has a bit of technology. Technology was first made around 2 million years ago that is crazy. Made nearly two million years ago stone tools such as this are the first known technological invention. This chopping tool and others. It comes from an early human campsite. I think technology is a really great thing and it will continue for ever.

Today in class we are learning about gears for example the force of gears and the type of gears and what some gears do. So we talked about what things use gears some are clock, washing machine,dryer,tv and things like that. Gears were made in the 3rd century and now gears are a very helpful item a lot of things use gears and it helps everyone if gears weren’t a thing that can be bad for a lot of people. The creator of the gear was Archimedes. In class we are still learning about gears and knowing more things about them and what they do but gears can be a really good project.

We did a project for technology it was to make a catapult when i started making it the popsicle sticks kept falling it got me a bit frustrated then I finished the first one then we glued on the cap for the launcher for the first one and the cap kept coming. I finally finished the first one it launched a marble pretty far. When we started making the second one we noticed we didn’t have  enough rubber bands so we needed to get more. So now we are making the second one but the first one was fun to do and use.

We had a project to make we hand to make a truss bridge and see what we can fit on top if the bridge. Truss was the triangle and the weight of the bridge when i made mine I thought i was really good it was it was a good assignment to do and it is fun making these projects. My bridge held more weight than I thought it was a good amount of weight. I used cans as weight because real weights probably  would have crushed it. Well over all the assignment was good and i had a good time.

Phones were created back in January 27th 2009 that was the first apple phone they were created by Steve Jobs and his workers. Phones are a every day item we use them when we need help to get picked up through apps apps really help because each app does do different things some entertain you, some call or message people in case you need help or are in trouble, or if you have to leave somewhere. I think the creations of iPhones were very helpful i think they help people all around the world and help people get around, order, entertain and more.

When i started building my Eye beam I messed up so i had to restart but then every thing started going well. I was building it like how it was in the video then we finished the first one. Then we started are own one we made are own one bigger and wider. When we finished the size difference was big then we but cans in instead if weights. For the one me made in the video it held 5 or 6 cans then it twisted one the other side and bent. The second one held 8 to 10 cans it had more strength and it was bigger it tip over after 8 to 10 cans but it didn’t bend that much.

Technology is something human made and makes life easier to solve problems for example objects help people make things and all other things

Sticky notes is technology because instead of taping, gluing and stapling things to the wall

It helps stick things to the wall , can be a book mark and it helps people put down notes to remember things you can write what ever you need to do. Sticky notes help with a lot of things you need it sticks to things.

Sticky notes improved on helping more people do things it is really helpful it was a good idea to make sticky notes and it is better than writing a little bit it is easier to write on sticky notes

Caslon Iv created a type face called sans seriff. Italics is curved. Didot made modern.Gill made huminas sans. after roman it was italics.
