What are the differences in technology before WWII and Now?

Question

Anything goes from the invention of microwaves to the invention of robots also could include things about cars, guns, electronics absolutly anything

Answer 1

The two most profound inventions of world war II, in my opinion, are controlled nuclear fission and radar. Both have transformed our world in uncountable ways.

Almost all the other technologoes that we think of as new to these times are actually extensions of science that existed before WWII.
Robots are old in concept, and while only recently become sophisticated are extensions of basic mechanical theory and mass production techniques. Space travel is based on rocketry which goes back to the eleventh century chinese. Nano technology is just an extension of the kind of precision micro-machinery that gave us the swiss watch.

Even the computer goes back to the nineteenth century, to Babbidge's punch card calculator.

The real transformations in our world have been in social engineering and mass communications. The idea of transcendent fascism is built upon the technology of radio and then television, which made it possible for people to be informed without the requisite effort on their part of reading. In effect these technologies took us beyond literacy, which might help account for the general dumbing down of society. Voices on the wire telling us what to think has given us the glories and horrors of advertising and widespread totalitarianism.

I believe, however, that there are new technologies right around the corner, that are going to tranform this world in ways now unimaginable. We are due for a really big shakeup. Whether it is hyperspeed travel and
control of gravity, propelling us beyond the earth into the greater universe, or some basic biological to cybernetic transformation of our species, I believe that if we were given a glimpse of the world after such transitions, we would be unable to comprehend what we were shown.

Answer 2

The only difference in technology is the advancement of them. For example during the rolling 20's, the invention of automobiles lead my Henry Ford. At the time the kind of engine was very different. Also the weapon used in WWW 1 was different from WWII II. For example in WWI I soldiers use gun shot, gas mascara and few other weapon. But ww II was very different, the invention of planes by the right brothers brought it to something different. Also the bomb that was dropped on those two cities in Japan had an affect on Nagasaki, and Hiroshima. The more we have technology the more disaster a war will bring. Remember this Warfare, Ammunition and ration are made up of war.

Answer 3

Will there is the microwave oven we use now not back then, TV didn't come into many homes until the 50's, Cars come with safety bags now and there are SUVs that can hold up to nine people. Cars back then didn't have seat belts either. We don't have to hand crank our washing machines to get or clothes clean, our washing machines only have to be turn on and they do the rest. Back then people didn't have home computers, children didn't have XBOX or Playstations to keep them entertain. We have VhS and DVD Players so we can watch movies at home something they didn't have back then. So that some of the techology we have now that wasn't found in many homes during World War 2

Answer 4

Before WWII, rockets were mostly science fiction. Jet aircraft were known by only a few people. Travel was largely by train and ship. Electronic digital computers did not exist. Radar was just barely being developed. Now, you can communicate via your digital computer through satellites launched on rockets to people on the other side of the world. Your daily news includes advanced Doppler radar storm tracking. Ordinary people can afford intercontinental travel by jet airliner. It really is a whole different world in many ways.

Answer 5

WWII revolutionized the aircraft industry went from prop to jet in about 5 years of innovation...war tends to speed up any technological advances because the military tends to use things before the general public.

Answer 6

yes. the technologies which derived from E=MC2. A lot of modern technologies derived from these formula had greatly affected our daily life. Just name a few technologies that derived from it are Atomic (in Weaponary, includes the bomb itself that ended WWII, Atomic Clock which Windows XP sync its clock from), Nuclear (power stations , the cheapest source of electricity that powers major metropolitans , and weaponary) , LASER (all laser related appliance) , Transistor (the core components that make up a microprocessor), DNA (medical research and advancement). We don't have this before the WWII.

Answer 7

a million. Diplomatic negotiations between Japan and us of a over the jap invasion of China being severed 2. U.S. embargo of oil to Japan 3. jap bombing of Pearl Harbor 4. German U-Boats sinking or detrimental U.S. ships contained in the Atlantic 5. Hitler's fact of conflict hostile to us of a.
