RENAISSANCE / MODERN AGES Flashcards
Happened around 1400-1600 is also known as Renaitre
or Rebirth.
RENAISSANCE / MODERN AGES
The outmost importance of increasing the
efficiency of transportation, communication, and production.
Industrialization took place with greater risks in human
health, food safety and environment which had to be
addressed as scientific and technological progress unfolded
at an unimaginable speed.
RENAI / MOD
a Dutch spectacle maker named
_____________ is credited for the invention in 1590. it was
capable of magnifying objects 3 times their size when fully
closed and up to 10 times when extended to the maximum.
ZACHARIAS JANSSEN
COMPOUND MICROSCOPE
2 PARTS OF MICROSCOPE
OBJECTIV, EYEPIECE
invented by Galileo Galilei.
TELESCOPE
It could magnify
objects 20 times larger than the Dutch’s perspective glasses.
Galileo used it skyward and made important discoveries and
identified the presence of craters and mountains on the
moon. It became clear that the universe is far larger than
previously imagined and the earth far smaller compared to
entire universe.
TELESCOPE
built by French weaver Joseph Marie
Jacquard. It is a drawloom used which required two
individuals to operate - the weaver and a drawboy - if figured
designs on textiles were needed. Demonstrated the ingenuity
of his version of a loom in which a series of cards with
punched hole automatically created complex textile designs
and made mass production easier.
JACQUARD LOOM
NEED 2 INDIVIDUALS TO OPEARTE:
WEAVER AND DRAWBOY
It is an important antecedent of modern computer
technology as it demosntrated the use of punched cards to
instruct a machine to carry out complex tasks.
JACQUARD LOOM
Wright and Wilbur Wright
are credited for designing and successfully operating the first
engine-powered aircraft. Shows that slightly-tilted wings,
which the referred to as aeroplanes, were the key features of
a powered aircraft.
ENGINE POWERED AIRPLANE
Shows that slightly-tilted wings,
which the referred to as
AEROPLANES
the Scottish engineer John Logie Baird was
credited for this invention. In 1924, televised objects in
outline, 1925 - recognizable human faces, 1926 - moving
objects, and in 1928 - projected colored images. The British
Broadcasting Corporation used this for its earliest television
programming in 1929.
