History of science and technology

Science and technology is a way of studying the world around us. It involves doing experiments and research, and using the results to invent and innovate. People have been learning about science and technology since ancient times, but it wasn't until the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century that the modern age of science and technology really began. In the last two centuries, we've seen massive advances in science and technology, from the invention of electricity and the development of cars and planes to the creation of the internet and medical breakthroughs. All of these inventions have changed the world and made it easier and more enjoyable to live in.
