HAND AX: 1.6 million years ago to about 100,000 years ago.

from different types of hard rocks like flint, obsidian, and granite.

Scrapers were made about 1.76 million years ago,

end scrapers served as heavy- duty scraping tools that could have been used on animal hides, wood, or bones.

Flint

Flint and stone tools were being traded from as early as 4000 BC. sharpening the flint produces piles of waste flakes.

Chopper Archaeologists define a chopper as a pebble tool with an irregular cutting edge formed through the removal of flakes from one side of a stone.

Stem engine

1943

A steam engine is a heat engine that performs mechanical work using steam as its working fluid.

The spinning jenny is a 1764 multi-spindle spinning frame, and was one of the key developments in the industrialization of textile manufacturing during the early Industrial Revolution. It was invented in 1764 or 1765 by James Hargreaves in Stan hill, Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire in England.

Cotton gin. Eli Whitney’s cotton gin, patented in 1794, obviated the need to remove seeds from raw cotton by hand. The result was increased production of cotton.

A water frame is a spinning frame that is powered by a water-wheel. Water frames in general have existed since Ancient Egyptian times. Richard Arkwright, who patented the technology in 1769, designed a model for the production of cotton thread; this was first used in 1765.

Robotics is an interdisciplinary branch of computer science and engineering. Robotics involves the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. The goal of robotics is to design machines that can help and assist humans Future

Augmented reality is an interactive experience that combines the real world and computer-generated content. The content can span multiple sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory and olfactory.

A head-worn apparatus that completely covers the eyes for an immersive 3D experience. Also called “

VR goggles,” VR headsets may be entirely self-contained such as the Meta Quest or HTC Vive.

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a method of creating a three dimensional object layer-by-layer using a computer created design.

Electronic

mail is a method of transmitting and receiving messages using electronic devices. It was conceived in the late–20th century as the digital version of, or counterpart to, mail

The Global Positioning System, originally Navstar

GPS, is a satellite-based radio navigation system owned by the United States government and operated by the United States Space Force

Terms	Definitions
Artificial intelligence (AI)	The simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems
Machine learning	The use and development of computer systems that are able to learn and adapt without following explicit instructions, by using algorithms and statistical models to analyse and draw inferences from patterns in data.
Virtual reality (VR)	The computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional image or environment that can be interacted with in a seemingly real or physical way by a person using special electronic equipment, such as a helmet with a screen inside or gloves fitted with sensors.
Augmented reality (AR)	An interactive experience that enhances the real world with computer-generated perceptual information
Internet of things (IoT)	The interconnection via the internet of computing devices embedded in everyday objects, enabling them to send and receive data.
Blockchain	A blockchain is a decentralized, distributed and public digital ledger that is used to record transactions across many computers so that the record cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks and the consensus of the network.
Quantum computing	Computing that makes use of the quantum states of subatomic particles to store information.
3D printing	The action or process of making a physical object from a three-dimensional digital model, typically by laying down many thin layers of a material in succession.
Cybersecurity	The state of being protected against the criminal or unauthorized use of electronic data, or the measures taken to achieve this.
Autonomous vehicles	A vehicle capable of sensing its environment and operating without human involvement.
Robotics	A branch of engineering that involves the conception, design, manufacture and operation of robots.
Nanotechnology	The branch of science and engineering devoted to designing, producing, and using structures, devices, and systems by manipulating atoms and molecules at nanoscale.
Biotechnology	Technology based on biology.
Space exploration	Space exploration is investigation, by means of crewed and uncrewed spacecraft, of the reaches of the universe beyond Earth’s atmosphere and the use of the information so gained to increase knowledge of the cosmos and benefit humanity.
Transhumanism	Transhumanism, philosophical and scientific movement that advocates the use of current and emerging technologies—such as genetic engineering, cryonics, artificial intelligence (AI), and nanotechnology—to augment human capabilities and improve the human condition.
Singularity	The state, fact, quality, or condition of being singular.
Futurism	Concern with events and trends of the future, or which anticipate the future.
Predictive analytics	The term predictive analytics refers to the use of statistics and modeling techniques to make predictions about future outcomes and performance.
Smart cities	A place where traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the use of digital solutions for the benefit of its inhabitants and business.
Wearable technology	Any kind of electronic device designed to be worn on the user’s body.
Cloud computing	Simply put, cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—over the internet (“the cloud”) to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale.
Big data	Extremely large data sets that may be analysed computationally to reveal patterns, trends, and associations, especially relating to human behaviour and interactions.
Digital twins	A virtual representation of an object or system that spans its lifecycle, is updated from real-time data, and uses simulation, machine learning and reasoning to help decision making.
Augmented humanity	Augmented humanity is a human–computer integration technology that proposes to improve capacity and productivity by changing or increasing the normal ranges of human function through the restoration or extension of human physical, intellectual and social capabilities.
Brain-computer interface (BCI)	A computer-based system that acquires brain signals, analyzes them, and translates them into commands that are relayed to an output device to carry out a desired action.
Synthetic biology	A field of science that involves redesigning organisms for useful purposes by engineering them to have new abilities.
Smart homes	Your home has a smart home system that connects with your appliances to automate specific tasks and is typically remotely controlled.
Digital health	Digital health is the use of digital technologies and accessible data, and the associated cultural change it induces, to help New Zealanders manage their health and wellbeing and transform the nature of healthcare delivery.
Energy storage	The ability to capture energy at one time for use at a later time.
Renewable energy	Energy derived from natural sources that are replenished at a higher rate than they are consumed.
Augmentation	The action or process of making or becoming greater in size or amount.

Talofa lava, this week is Samoan language week so Today on google drawings I made some Samoan Siapo. We are looking to Improve our skills on google draw.
