What are the major events that have affected the development of human history?

The 20 th century was a century of unprecedented glory in science and technology, and mankind created the greatest scientific achievements and material wealth in history. These achievements have profoundly changed the way and quality of human production and life, and at the same time, they have also profoundly changed human thinking and understanding of the world, changed and continue to change the face of the world, and greatly promoted the development of society.

There is much to remember about the past century, many of which have changed our lives dramatically, and the predictions of thinkers have often come true. The American scientist Benjamin Franklin once said: In the future, human knowledge will increase greatly, and new inventions that we cannot think of today will appear again and again, and I sometimes almost regret that I was born too early, so that I could not know what new things will appear.

He was right. In the past 100 years, human science and technology can only be described by leaps and bounds, if an inventor in 1900 looks at today's world, he will recognize cars, **, airplanes, he can also imagine spaceships, deep-sea submarines, but he will definitely know nothing about computers, the Internet, genetic engineering, nuclear energy. Now, knowledge has given mankind unprecedented self-confidence and optimism, as one writer wrote:

I sincerely believe that we live in the greatest age of knowledge in the history of mankind, and that there is nothing we do not understand" and that "as long as man can think of something, there is always someone who can do it." The development of technology in the 20th century has made this statement more and more like the truth. The progress of science and technology has completely changed the way of human existence, and it has also changed the direction of human thinking.

In the next 10 to 20 years, there is no doubt that science and technology will make breakthroughs and expansions in many fields. Maybe the human brain and the computer can become one, maybe we can settle on Mars, maybe everyone can clone spare organs, maybe ......

Let's review the scientific and technological inventions that have brought great changes to human life in the 20th century, look forward to the future development trend of science and technology, and enter a new era of knowledge economy.

From the economic aspect, there are three major changes, one is the emergence of agriculture, the second is industrialization, and the third is informationization.

From the humanistic aspect, one is the production of writing, the second is the promotion of papermaking, and the third is the invention and application of computers.

From the perspective of human development, one is the invention of bronze, the second is the application of iron and cold weapons, the second is the use of gunpowder in the military, and the fourth is the emergence of atomic bombs and nuclear weapons.

In terms of ideology, one is the emergence of religion, the second is the maturity of idealistic philosophy, and the second is the growth of materialist philosophy.

From the scientific aspect, one is the maturity of mathematical theory, and the other is the maturity of physics and chemistry. The third is the quantum theory, and the fourth is the theory of relativity.

The four major inventions, the Industrial Revolution, and then the Internet.

1.It has led to the development of many industrial sectors. By the 40s of the 19th century, the use of steam engines was widely promoted in European countries and in the United States.

The steam engine was not only widely used in the textile and mining industries, but also was popularized to a series of industrial sectors such as metallurgy, printing and dyeing, machinery, and chemical industry, accelerating the pace of the industrial revolution, thus triggering the fourth major progress in science and technology in human history (the fourth industrial revolution in history).2.It has contributed to the innovation of the transportation industry.

The application of steam power has fundamentally changed the face of transportation technology, directly led to the invention of steam locomotives and ships, led to the emergence of railways, and the steamship built by the American Fulton has created a new era in the history of world shipping. The steam locomotive made by the Englishman Stephenson ushered in a new era of overland transportation. After the 40s of the 19th century, there was a boom in railway construction in Britain, and the United States, France, Germany, Russia and other countries also began to build railways, and soon formed a national railway network.

It provides faster and more convenient conditions for social production and people's exchanges.
