The advancements made possible by
technology--from the printed pages that spurred the Protestant
Reformation to the Web pages that today transmit information across the
globe--have dramatically changed the history of humankind. While
chronicling the development of the world's most influential technologies, TRANSFORMING POWER OF TECHNOLOGY examines how, as humanity transforms technology, technology, in turn, transforms us. Newcomen's first steam engine
radically altered the way that labor could be accomplished. Incredible
strides in technology increased productivity and ushered in the Industrial Revolution.
