Women in Science

Women have made significant contributions to the science field for hundreds of years. The involvement of women in the field of medicine occurred in several early civilizations. Women contributed to the proto-science of alchemy in the first or second centuries. During the Middle Ages, convents were an important place of education for women, and some of these communities provided opportunities for women to contribute to scholarly research. The first known woman to attend a university in a scientific field of studies was Laura Bassi, an eighteenth century Italian scientist. During the nineteenth century, women were excluded from more formal type of scientific education, but they began to be admitted into learned societies. In the nineteenth century, the rise of the women's college provided jobs for women scientists, and opportunities for education. This led Marie Curie to become the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize in 1903, and then went on to become a double Nobel Prize recipient in 1911. Both Nobel Prize awards were for her work on radiation. Overall, seventeen women have been awarded the Nobel Prize in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine.

Women in Science

Women were excluded for a while in the field of science and technology. In the past they weren't given a chance to do anything besides cook and clean. It was a big deal for Emilie du Chatelet to be recognized for her great accomplishments in the 1700's. She started it all for the women in the field of science. Chatelet worked with Voltaire on energy. They worked in the field of physics and were able to establish is much further. They used velocity to define mass. and established the equation E=mv^2

Impact between Totalitarianism and Technology

Totalitarianism is a political system that has complete control over society, requiring everyone to obey the state completely.  Today, technology surrounds us everywhere.  People use phones and cameras and take pictures of everything.  Then, they upload them to social media and websites.  By doing this, it allows totalitarianism to bloom.  This gives government access to everything and lets them know what you are doing at all times.  Once the upload button is hit, the pictures or videos are on the web forever and can never be removed.  Even if they may seem to be deleted, they are still in the cloud.  "People are becoming more and more like machines." -Edward T. Hall

Totalitarianism and Technology

Technology surrounds us in our everyday lives everyday; we operate phones, computers, cameras exc. We post updates on our lives, who we hangout with, where we are and the fun we are having. How does things like this allow totalitarianism to bloom? Once you post online its there FOREVER, even after death. There is no privacy when using online databases. What we don't realize now a days is just how dangerous this is, people who may potentially want to harm you can easily find you, or those u don't want knowing your privacy can see everything. We have to learn to be smarter with how we use technology, sooner or later it will own us.

totalitarianism in technology

Totalitarianism is a political system that controls society and the public and private life of the people. Totalitarianism can be within the economy, education, family, media and church. Technology has taken over our lives. We plan our days around technology. We let it affect how we think, we feel, we portray ourselves, etc. Because we let this technology into so many aspects of our lives, we fall to totalitarianism, and feed into it. Most people don't realize that the government has the ability to control everything that is put on the internet. Surveillance is used on cameras, search histories and computers. 

Technologies that have Transformed Warfare

Advancements in technologies have changed the field of warfare for the better. Combat drones are used to deploy weapons from the air. Troops are able to control this from far away, which keeps them out of danger. Submarines are used in the navy to attack enemy ships. They are capable of attacking from under the water. They also carry missiles, aid in land attacks, and create blockades. Stealth aircrafts are more advanced then regular airplanes. They have the ability to hide themselves from the radar, radio, and spectrums, which will lead to a successful attack. Nuclear weapons are the most destructive and only used in the worst case possible. As time goes on, technology improves and becomes more and more precise.
