• The Paleolithic age (or the stone age) is 5 million to 10 thousand years ago.
• What is the stark difference between Homo and the other species? All can create tools but the Homo can design tools.
• An example of an Old Stone Technology are "Oldowan" used by Hominins 2.5 - 1.2 million years ago and the "Acheulean" used by Hominins also 1.6 million - 200 thousand years ago. Most of the time, they used the technology for scavenging and gathering.
• Fire was discovered around 200,000 years earlier and is habitually used 400,000 years ago.
• Mesolithic or the:

  Middle Stone Age
• Mesolithic Technology appeared around 280,000 - 25,000 years ago
• Neolithic (or New Stone Age) Technology is around 12,000 - 3,500 years ago.
• The ice age is located at the time of Mesolithic
• Before the people discovered farming to settle down, their way of living was nomadic.
• Nomads are people who move from one place to another because they have no permanent home.

• 5000 BC Where Mesopotamian Civilization arose. We credit them for creating a writing system, mathematics, and as well as religion.
• 3500 BC - Egyptians, their religion drives their engineering as their architecture. They developed a more meticulous unit for time like minutes, hours, etc.
• 1200 BC - the time where Alexander the great brought down the Egyptians. This is where the Greeks flourished also, where in this time they introduced a new type of learning, Logic.
• After the Greeks is the Romans, (in 600 BC) the Knowledge that was developed by Greeks was adopted by the Romans and improved upon. They took almost everything about Greek and made it their own. Translating it to Latin.
• The Greeks where ideal, they studied simply because of their love of knowledge. But the Romans where practical, they choose the knowledge what they want and discard what they think is useless. This is the reason why knowledge then stagnated.thatwerewerediscarded
• The Roman collapse (in 500 ad), this is the start of the Medieval Times. There were two sides of the Roman empire, the political and the chruch.
• 500 to 800 ad is the Dark Ages, this applies to the whole Medieval Period.
• Its called the Dark Ages because people where more focused on survival since there were wars, famine and pandemics. No advancement of culture nor scientific knowledge whatsoever.
• 800 ad forward was the Renaissance era. This is where Charlemagne of France rose to power. This is also where The monastic cathedral started their plan to rise to power.
• Universities were not made in the Renaissance era simply because knowledge was lost during the Dark Ages.

• When the Church was in control of knowledge, they combined Faith and Knowledge. The church placed its credibility by citing science and their faith together.
• The modern era (1500) This is where the scientific revolution came into play. To prove and scrutinize science as a whole. This is where Science became objective, with no connection to the faith.

• When iron is find.

  
• The steam engine was invented by James Watt.

  
• Impacts of the Industrial Revolution: Increased population, increased urbanization, increased wealth, increased crime, increased mass production.
• The first phase of the Industrial Revolution is Steam Powered Technology.
• The second phase of the industrial revolution is the electric powered technology. (start of 20th century)
• The third phase in the industrial revolution was the Industrial Automation-
• Fourth Phase:
