Examples of technological developments

Quoting from the book History of the Development of Information and Communication Technology (2012) by Nuryanto, examples of technological developments can be seen from the differences in the use of tools in the past and today. For example, in the past, people used kentongan as a tool to provide information. However, currently providing information can be done via the internet and social media. Here are some examples of technological developments that are used daily, namely: In ancient times, people used rickshaws as a means of land transportation. However, nowadays people can use motorbikes, cars, and buses as means of land transportation. In the past, people communicated by sending letters or short messages via SMS. Currently, sending messages can be done via social media, such as WhatsApp and Line. People used to use typewriters to do assignments or type text. But now this can be done using laptops, computers, and cellphones. As lighting, candles or oil lamps used to be very often used. However, since the development of technology, many people have switched to using electric lights. In the past, people washed clothes in the traditional way. This job is made easier with the washing machine.
