The needs of the people are the creation of a new technology or of a new innovation. Several decades or centuries have passed us and we can obviously see the big changes that happened over the technologies or with the things we find useful in our daily lives. The history of mankind has taken its shape along the years that has passed and innovation was always constant, was always there. Countless technologies have been thought of, created, invented and that was all because of the needs of the society that urges them to make something out of things and improve something as well as to improve our lifestyle. I agree with the statement that one of the reasons why we embrace technology that much in our lives is the environment; the people are greatly affected by what the nature would throw at us or shall I say what the environment would exchange us. Since it is not, yet, in our hands the control of Mother Nature or of the environmental turns, we inclined ourselves with the other side of things that would still help us ease with the way we live and in defense or counter of what the environment brings to us.
The significant event I had chosen to be an example of this assignment is the World War II (WWII), wherein no one can deny the events that occurred at that time were indeed unforgettable and we wish would always remain a history. And related to this very significant event was the formulation of a very interesting yet also destructive, the nuclear weapon or the atomic bomb where the nuclear age had seems to start of the use of atomic weapons in wars. The United States of America, together with United Kingdom and Canada, in their secret projects in designing and building the first atomic bomb ever under the so called Manhattan Project, had plotted a plan to make an end to their dispute with Japan. The bombs were named “Little Boy” and “Fat man”, the former was a gun-type bomb made with uranium-25 and which was the one dropped in Hiroshima, and the latter was a synthetic-element made with plutonium-239 that was dropped in Nagasaki on August 6 and followed on August 9 way back 1945.
One instance that I could also cite in relation to this topic, although I’m not really quite sure, was about the creation of the ‘yo-yo’. I heard several years before that yo-yo was conceived by the people during the Great Depression. If I’m right and my memory is still good, it was in a certain TV station or channel that this story was part of their commercial. The Great Depression was an economic slump in North America, Europe, and other industrialized areas of the world that began in 1929 and lasted until about 1939. It was the longest and most severe depression ever experienced by the industrialized Western world.Even yo-yo was existing during 500 BC, the birth of the modern yo-yo was initiated by Mr. Donald Duncan at the depression era in the United States. It was stated that the investment of the said person was a good one since the modern yo-yo became popular in the said country probably because of the negative state they were in and that they really needed something to relieve the circumstances they were entailed.
