The Ages of
Technology
Stone Age 1,000000 BC – 3000 BC
Made
tools out of natural materials such as wood, stone, and bone
Bronze
Age 3000 BC – 1200 BC
Make bronze from copper and tin. Called

Iron Age – 1200 BC
People learned how to mine
which improved tools even more.
Computer Age – Our current age –
The first computers were people. The term computer was a job
title. It was give to people (usually woman) whose job it was to perform
repetitive calculations such as tide table and navigational
charts.
The Relationship of Science and
Technology
Scientists - Spend time doing research and making
discoveries.
Technologists – Use the knowledge discovered by scientists
to develop new and better technologies.
******Technologists use the work
of scientists to invent, and scientists use the work of technologists to make
discoveries.
