The Second Industrial Revolution
The 19th century saw astonishing developments in transportation, construction, manufacturing and communication technologies originating in Europe. After a recession at the end of the 1830s and a general slowdown in major inventions, the Second Industrial Revolution was a period of rapid innovation and industrialization that began in the 1860s or around 1870 and lasted until World War l -
Period: 1760 BCE to 1830 BCE
Industrial Evolution
is the process of economic, social and technological transformation that began in the second half of the 18th century in the Kingdom of Great Britain, much of Western Europe and Anglo-Saxon America. During this period, the greatest set of economic, technological and social transformations in the history of humanity since the Neolithic period was experienced, moving from an economy based on agriculture and trade to an urban, industrialized and mechanized economy. -

Iron Age
The Iron Age was the most advanced stage of Prehistory and where civilizations were no longer nomadic, the first ancient civilizations began to form and more.
Because of the consistency and hardness of iron, it began to be used for the manufacture of agricultural equipment such as picks and axes. Tools like hammers and mandarins were also made.
and the manufacture of weapons of war such as knives, swords, spearheads, armour and helmets. -
20th century
Electrification spread rapidly in the 20th century. At the beginning of the century electric power was for the most part only available to wealthy people in a few major cities such as New York, London, Paris, and Newcastle upon Tyne, but by the time the World Wide Web was invented in 1990 an estimated 62 percent of homes worldwide had electric power, including about a third of households in the rural developing world.Birth control also became widespread during the 20th century. -
21st century
In the early 21st century research is ongoing into quantum computers, gene therapy, 3D printing, nanotechnology , bioengineering/biotechnology, nuclear technology, advanced materials, the scramjet and drones,superconductivity, the memristor, and green technologies such as alternative fuels (e.g., fuel cells), augmented reality devices and wearable electronics, artificial intelligence, and more efficient and powerful LEDs, solar cells, integrated circuits, wireless power devices, and batteries. -
Bronze Age
The Bronze Age is located approximately from 4000 BC to 1500 BC. This era saw its beginnings based on the metallurgical knowledge that different civilizations had about copper, both in its extraction and in the techniques of melting and forging this metal. The characteristic of its hardness allowed the bronze to be positioned as a more useful metal because of its hardness and resistance in comparison with copper. -
Stone Age
During the bulk of the Stone Age – all humans had a lifestyle which involved limited tools and few permanent settlements. The first major technologies were tied to survival, hunting, and food preparation. Stone tools and weapons, fire, and clothing were technological developments of major importance during this period. -
Copper Age
Due to its composition and consistency, copper was the first metal used by man. As human civilization understood its composition and handling, the techniques of forging and smelting the metal improved. This was elementary for the experimentation with new metals such as iron, which required a more complex treatment both for its extraction and forging. -
the Oldowan industry
Hum evidence of tool usage found in Ethiopia within the Great Rift Valley, dan ancestors have been using stone and other tools since long before the emergence of Homo sapiens approximately 200,000 years ago. The earliest methods of stone tool making, known as the Oldowan "industry", date back to at least 2.3 million years ago,[5] with the earliest directating back to 2.5 million years ago. -
Period: to
Paleolithic
From the remote human origins there is a long and complex struggle for subsistence, in which the human being, very slowly, develops a basic technology in his attempt to dominate the environment in which he lives. The culture of the Paleolithic is, in a certain way, a response that man gives to the natural conditions, using his intelligence and will.
