Wilbur and Orville Wright were American inventors and founders of aviation. Through much trial and error, they were able to achieve the first powered, sustained and controlled airplane flight in 1903, and the first fully practical airplane two years later. The airplane transformed the 20th century, as people were now able to fly, resulting in a change around the world. Women were responsible for many ‘firsts’ in the aviation industry, despite being faced by constant animosity. Arguably, the invention of...

To tackle this topic, we first must understand what the term Science and Technology means and in what relation is it with the existential question proposed. The obvious meaning is that this topic deals with both science and technology and their interactions. And of course, since science and technology are major parts of near past and present human life, it is evident that they have some impact on our way of thinking and our lives in general. However, this topic...

Material science and technology has evolved – starting in the 1960s because it became clear that a single approach was needed to create, discover and design new materials. Rapid evolution occurs at the beginning of the 21st century when it is sought to combine the global problem of solid waste with a major metal factor (e.g. heavy metals, plastics, inorganic chemicals, organic, etc.). Many of the current technological problems are due to the constraints of available materials so advances in...

Introduction Information science can be defined as a branch that explores the characteristics and conduct of data, the driving forces that control the flow of information, and ways of optimally accessing and using absorbed information. It is composed of branches of science that majorly deal with collecting, classifying, manipulating, storing, retrieving, and disseminating information (Yan, 2011). Information science is a wide interdisciplinary area that incorporates computer science features, library science, intellectual and with the inclusion of social sciences. It deals...

There has been a lot of advancement in the world today since the days of the early men. Man, in his curious nature, engaged himself with studying his environment, taking notes of his observations, and figuring out efficient ways to make life better and resourceful. All of these studies and their application is tied to what we know today as science and technology. The two of them work hand in hand, and have very close meaning, but there are some...

One of the most fascinating and important exhibits at the Smithsonian Institute would be the Canard Biplane built by the Wright brothers. This beautiful piece of work was very simple in design but got the job done. Basically, it had a small 12 horsepower engine to turn the propellers and a sprocket and chain transmission system. The airplane design itself was just bare bones because the idea was that you would need enough power to propel a craft that big...
