Защита окружающей среды
The twentieth century is known to be the century of the scientific and technological progress. The achievements of the mankind are amazing. But at the same time this progress gave birth to a very serious problem – the poisoning of our planet, its land, its air and water. The ecological harmony is disturbed. Many species of flora and fauna have disappeared. Acid rains, the greenhouse effect, ozone depletion caused by harmful substances emitted. The pollution of the environment is hard to ignore. The problem of environmental protection has become an extremely important part of political programmes in many countries nowadays. Many laws and vital decisions on the problem have been adopted, many measures have been take to protect our forests, rivers, lakes and seas. The environmental problems have grown beyond the concern of a single country. Their solution requires the cooperation of all nations. It is obvious, that only our joint effort will help to avoid a global catastrophe.
Наука и техника
They say we live in age of science and technology. Today science and technology are closely related. Pure science gave new ideas to technology. And technology provides science new instruments for it’s investigation and research. Science and technology improve life of people. The scientific revolution began in 16th century. And the industrial revolution began in 19th century with the development of power-driven machines, mass production of goods and growth of factory system. In a sense the history of science and technology is the history of all mankind.
Индустриальный век
The period in Europe between the 14th and 16th centuries is the “renaissance”. Scholarly and artistic activities was greatly enhanced in Europe. New knowledge gave birth to new technologies. Industrial age followed. Mankind learned to use energy from burning of hydrocarbons. Mechanics became a now science. In 1800 Alessandro Volta invented an electric battery. In 1831 Faradey discovered the electric potential in magnetic field, electric generator. In 1879 Tomas Edison and Alexander Lodigin invented incandescent electric light bulb. The electrification of cities soon followed. Electrical engineering as a profession was born. The discovery of laws of electricity and magnetism gave birth to two new industries telegraph and telephone. Advances in a chemical sciences gave birth photographic industry and motion picture industry.
Электроника в индустриальном веке
In 1873 James Clerk Maxwell developed four equations which to serve basis for all electromagnetic calculation. In 1895 A. Popov demonstrated the first wireless communication systems. In the 1930s practical television systems were developed. During World War II electronic systems were developed. After the war the computer industry was born. Then the transistor was invented by Bardeen, Brattain and Shockey. Kilby and Noyce invented the integrated circuit. The ruby, gas and semiconductor lasers were invented. Attention was focused on light wave transmission over glass fibers. Today most long distance calls are transmitted by optical fibers.
Информационный век.
Technological developments have created information industries. Electrical and computer engineers play a major role. The IC has created the information age. The IC has had a profound impact on our society. Text, data, graphics, voice and video can be electronically processed, transmitted, and stored. Telephone, cable, and broadcasting networks are fighting for survival in the information age. We will witness profound changes in the traditional information industries.??? We will see more transparent national boundaries, less national autonomy, and a higher world order. Globally industry and governments are going through a period of rebirth. This renaissance is the result of the scientific discoveries and technological advances of the past two centuries.
