Summary

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. With the invention of gunpowder, wars that had previously been fought with swords or arrows were waged instead with guns--dramatically changing not only the manner of fighting, but the number of casualties as well.
