1, A. Agriculture started being practiced when hunting and gathering turned into stationary farming.
The technological advancement started from the advancement of the basic archaic tools that were
used at the time. And it kept growing and advancing in order to adapt to the growing demands of raw
materials and produce in a short period of time.

These days not only are quality and durable tech being used for the field work and harvest, it is
also being used for the sorting and packaging. The technological assistance in the field gives an all-
round boost in efficiency of how things are managed resulting in much more quality and quantity in
the produce.

B, Industrial jobs started as simple cottage tools typically operated by a single person or a few
people at most. Technological advancements started as aid for those crafts and grew into big into what
we now know as factories, to produce surplus products for the mass.

Currently, Technological aids are trying to decrease human labour as the main source of input for
industrial jobs. All sorts of machines are refined and upgraded to work on industrial works, while the
main role of a human would be monitoring these machines. The nature of the current situation would
shift the occupants of these jobs to shift their focus from learning the craft to understanding about and
knowing how to operate these machines.

C, Information was simply shared through newspapers before the introduction of broadcast
technology. Radio broadcasting became popular and trendy because it made the sharing and receiving
of information easier. As the tech advanced and the idea of broadcast became even more popular,
television broadcast was introduced. This new breakthrough introduced imagery and video
broadcasting as well as audio. As the sharing of information in bulk grew, reporters and news
providers started to increase their research as well as their authenticity.

Computers and the internet created another revolutionary wave in the sharing and learning of
information. But most information shared on the internet is less strict and gives access of sharing
information to basically everyone with access of the internet, and thus it can be hard to rely on it.

2. I expect the internet access to be a lot cheaper so as to boost 5G usage and others coming in the
future. This becomes more online presence and service crowding, but simultaneously improving the
service. Right now, not only do internet accessors provide either sensitive or dangerous information
unprovoked, sometimes they have the skills to access private information making the internet a
potentially dangerous place. The cloud repatriation and bigger online presence make the privacy of
life smaller as it goes. This results in more investment on cyber security but there still wouldn’t be
any inaccessible private information. In production and in the day-to-day life, the fourth wave of
industrial revolution would accelerating decrease the human input currently required making
numerous jobs and occupations extinct. But the electronic replacement will make jobs and service
goes faster and more efficient, making life easier.

3, A. Steam engine as the name implies is an engine that runs on steam. It was discovered in Britain
by the use of coal to boil water and make steam. The steam then pushes and pulls gears that act as a
power surge for either turning wheels. This was used on locomotives, trains, steam Lorries and other
vehicles. The use of the steam engine dramatically increased the use of coal and for coal, as it was not
accessible immensely in Britain; they had to find dig sights in other countries mostly located in
Africa. The colonies they had in Africa gave them the materials they needed without costing too
much. The use of the steam engine increases the potential for experimenting with engines and other
ways to power them, so it became a gateway to advancement of locomotives and vehicles.

B. A computer, shortly defined, is an electronic device that interprets shares and stores data. The
data is stored as binary codes. A person uses or communicates with a computer through inputs and
outputs. Person inputs information through keyboard, mouse, microphone and other input devices,
and after the computer stores and processes the information given, it gives outputs through speaker,
monitor and other output devices. A network is the interconnection of two or more computers, servers
and other connecting devices for sharing information. A network can operate through connection of
wire lines, radio waves, satellite etc.…

Computers and network servers used cheaper equipment so as to make the devices more affordable.
This made these gadgets easily accessed and grew their importance on the either work places or
simply in living situations.

4. One of the advantages is that it gives informational access to students pursuing a certain field of
study with the right sort of references. Reference books for higher education tend to be expensive and
this cheaper form of study source helps them get access. It also speeds up the teaching-learning
process as it tends to provide specific answers to specific questions students may have. This is, of
course talking about the access the internet gives to students by defined texts, exemplary images or
videos. Television and radio broadcast are even cheaper form of information sharing compared to
accessing the internet. Thus, provide entertainment without much bother.

A few of its disadvantages are the easy access of TV, radio or mobile phone entertainment
encourages laxness and messes up working or study time and even messes with sleep schedule,
tampering with the health of a whole generation. The internet is also is a dangerous place to uncareful
minds. It gives young and immature minds access to violent and mature content. In a bigger aspect it
can give a single person the power to control and mess an entire country’s system.
