Leonardo da Vinci's contribution to new technologies and modern civilization

Image
Science and inventions of Leonardo da Vinci Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) was an Italian polymath, regarded as the epitome of the "Renaissance Man", displaying skills in numerous diverse areas of study. Whilst most famous for his paintings such as the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper, Leonardo is also renowned in the fields of civil engineering, chemistry, geology, geometry, hydrodynamics, mathematics, mechanical engineering, optics, physics, pyrotechnics, and zoology. Leonardo Da Vinci’s Inventions and Other Contributions to Civilization Leonardo Da Vinci is a famed artist today due to his renowned painting of the ‘Mona Lisa’. In the 14th century, people of Venice would have known him as an engineer, people of Milan would have known him for his Last Supper, but only the people of Florence would have seen his whole character. Da Vinci is known as the archetypal Renaissance man, a man of “unquenchable curiosity” and “feverishly inventive imagination”. Da Vinci crea

A scientific approach to global warming: the most efficient methods of the catastrophe prevention

Scientific consensus on climate change Scientific consensus on climate change is the consensus of climate scientists regarding the degree to which global warming is occurring, its likely causes, and its probable consequences. Currently, there is a strong scientific consensus that the Earth is warming and that this warming is mainly caused by human activities. This consensus is supported by various studies of scientists' opinions and by position statements of scientific organizations, many of which explicitly agree with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) synthesis reports. In order to effectively address global warming, we must significantly reduce the amount of heat-trapping emissions we are putting into the atmosphere. The good news is that we have the technology and practical solutions at hand to accomplish it. As individuals, we can help by taking action to reduce our personal carbon emissions. But to fully address the threat of global warming, 

Apple's approach to the safety of their clients' personal data

Image
Apple products are designed to protect your privacy. At Apple, we believe privacy is a fundamental human right.  And so much of your personal information — information you have a right to keep private — lives on your Apple devices.  Every Apple product is designed from the ground up to protect that information. And to empower you to choose what you share and with whom.  We’ve proved time and again that great experiences don’t have to come at the expense of your privacy and security. Instead, they can support them. Apple Pay transactions are safe. Apple Pay gives you a safer, more private way to pay in stores, in apps, and on the web. When you use a credit or debit card with Apple Pay we don’t keep transaction information that can be tied back to you, so we can’t create a history of your purchases. Features improve while your data stays private. When we use data to create better experiences for you, we work hard to do it in a way that doesn’t compromise you

Social media vs television: is there a possibility that people might stop watching TV channels and switch to the Internet?

Social media ,  television  and radio formats provide very different opportunities for advertisers looking to get their brand and product messages to target customers. In some cases, your business might prefer a concentrated message approach that emphasizes only one of these  media  types. Social media, television and radio formats provide very different opportunities for advertisers looking to get their brand and product messages to target customers. In some cases, your business might prefer a concentrated message approach that emphasizes only one of these media types. The television business has changed from provider-driven to consumer-driven. For broadcasters and operators – who used to decide whether content lived or died — the internet has proven to be a most disruptive development, looming menacingly over their profit stream. The internet is changing the TV business forever. Social television is a consequence of the convergence of TV and internet. Twitter, Facebo

New technologies in recycling garbage: methods to prevent global pollution

New technologies in recycling garbage: methods to prevent global pollution New machinery known as “digesters” can take the waste and the biogas it produces and turn it into energy that can be used on site. This kind of technology can be used on a variety of waste, including food, animal waste, agricultural leftovers, and more. WAYS THAT TECHNOLOGY IS INNOVATING IN THE WASTE MANAGEMENT SECTOR TURNING WASTE INTO ENERGY One of the biggest innovations coming to the waste management industry is the ability to turn waste into actual power. Instead of sitting in a landfill, certain types of waste can simply be converted into energy. This kind of technology can be used on a variety of waste, including food, animal waste, agricultural leftovers, and more. Thermal conversion is another new technology that can be used to convert waste into specialty products. Some landfill gas can even be converted into energy. This kind of gas would normally be released or flared, but no

Automobiles' aerodynamic qualities and how they changed since 1950?

AERODYNAMICS Aerodynamics  is the study of how gases interact with moving bodies. Because the gas that we encounter most is air,  aerodynamics  is primarily concerned with the forces of drag and lift, which are caused by air passing over and around solid bodies . History of Aerodynamic As aircraft speed increased, designers began to encounter challenges associated with air  comprehensibility  at speeds near or greater than the speed of sound. The differences in air flows under such conditions leads to problems in aircraft control, increased drag due to  shock waves , and the threat of structural failure due to  aeroelastic flutter . The ratio of the flow speed to the speed of sound was named the  Mach number  after  Ernst Mach  who was one of the first to investigate the properties of  supersonic  flow.  William John Macquorn Rankine  and  Pierre Henri Hugoniot  independently developed the theory for flow properties before and after a  shock wave , while  Jakob Acker

Do values of contemporary people focus on new technologies more than on everything else?

Technology has become a huge part in society and day-to-day life. When societies know more about the development in a technology, they become able to take advantage of it. When an innovation achieves a certain point after it has been presented and promoted, this technology becomes part of the society. Advantages of technology First, the evolution of technology is beneficial to humans for several reasons.  Technology has also increased the productivity of almost every industry in the world. Technology improves daily lives; allowing to move physical  storage units  to virtual storage banks and more. Scientists of the time are also able to send astronauts to the moon thanks to technology.   Disadvantages and risks of technology On the other hand, the evolution of modern technology has disadvantages, for example, dependence on new technology. The use of technology certainly needs rule and new laws. For example internet use is an individual freedom. The negativ
