1985 "Hacking," or entering / gaining unauthorized access to a computer system, has been committed by a group of young computer programmers. The victims of this new incidence of hacking were the Pentagon and the telecommunications company, AT&T.
Nuclear energy became the primary source of energy used in weapons making, characterized to be more efficient and powerful compared to its predecessor, the atomic bomb (energy).
1986 The first operation was conducted which granted a patient an artificial heart, lengthening the life survival of patients who have poor heart conditions.
1988 Stealth bomber aircrafts were manufactured and introduced by the United States. These new aircrafts provide ease and increasingly rapid speed of flight without being detected by enemy radar (especially during war time).
1990 Switzerland had produced the first solar-powered vehicle, which runs on solar power alone, without the use of excessive fuel energy. This project aims to provide alternatives to use 'fuel efficient' vehicles to preserve the environment.
1991-1995
1991 With the rapid development of computer technology, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation) and Apple Computers launched an "open-system" program that shares and integrates the two computer companies' software programs in order to develop computer technologies in the future.
1992 The use of non-ferrous metals and heavy inorganic chemicals, such as titanium and polymers and plastics, respectively, has become prevalent during this period. Titanium is useful in medical technology...
Plastics and polymers, on the other hand, provide as efficient alternatives to the production of materials for everyday use, such as telephones, textiles, containers, and compact discs.
1995 Laser light has become useful in the development of printing technology, particularly that of Optical Character Recognition or OCR, which is a technology that converts hard copies of texts into electronic form.
Video technology also prevailed with the use of laser light, allowing television viewers to record and re-produce copies of programs viewed on television.
Gene therapy was introduced in the world of medicine, where it became possible for scientists and doctors to manipulate a human being's genes within cells in order to treat and cure genetic disorders.
The digital satellite system was introduced, providing a wide range of television channels to choose from. Encompassing the capabilities of cable television, satellite TV allows users to access channels from around the globe.
1996 This period marked a big change in the development of technologies and industries in the world. Manufacturers are no longer producing materials for consumption for profit; considerations about the hazardous effects of these technologies on the environment were also taken into account. One specific example is the use of "clear fuels" in cars to reduce air pollution in the environment as a result of too much consumption of fuel energy.
As a response to the increasing awareness of the destructive effects of…
This is not always the case. Some may be educated and economically well off, within particular fundamentalist sects, but use an idealistic vision of the past to provide a solution to what they see is lacking in the contemporary world. This was true of the Muslim Brotherhood of 1929, which used religion as part of its ideology of colonial resistance -- and is also true of many of the
Michael Cooley (1972) has suggested that the drawing office has been downgraded in importance as a result of the finer division of labor in engineering that began in the 1930s. He described how the creative design element had become increasingly separated from the work of executing drawings. The fragmentation of shop floor jobs was, according to Cooley, paralleled by fragmentation of the job of the designer/drafter. Until the 1930s, drafters
(Famous Cattle Trails) The Trail in fact aided in the collection of herds of cattle from San Antonio, Helena and Texana in the south and Uvalde, and also from Comanche and Fort Worth, from further north. From Fort Worth, the Chisolm Trail goes straight northwards, and crosses the Red River at Red River Station, and when it reaches the Indian Nation Territory, it passes through Rush Springs, Kingfisher and Hennessy
The decrease in 2006 is obvious to most all product categories and it can be explained through the economic crisis in the U.S. And the general reduction of industrial activities and corporate profits. The communications and telecommunications subsector has also been subjected to changes in 2006 as compared to 2005, registering both increases as well as decreases, as shown by the figures below (millions of dollars): Product Product Name 2006 Code 3342101 Telephone
The mistake occurred when enthusiasts tried to use those data for other purposes such as 'strategic product decisions.' The average cost of production never could, and never will, be relevant for those classes of decisions where only the change in total costs and revenues are relevant. That is, the rough, average post calculations provided a guide for pricing unique one-off products or services, but were of no use for
History Of Education in Kuwait Kuwait before the discovery of Oil Kuwait Pearl diving Situated in the North-East of Arabian Peninsula in Western Asia was a small Arab state, Kuwait. Citizens of this state led an underprivileged life, but not an unfortunate one. The state was an example that money is not a prerequisite to live a happy life. Although people were poor, they were satisfied with the little amount of money they
