TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION

1.0

INTRODUCTION
Technological revolution is a relatively short period in history when one technology is replaced by another technology which more sophisticated than ever by the introduction of some new technology

2.0

TECNOLOGY REVOLUTION
Todays technology revolution, much technological revolution can be an example and the technology used by many people in the world. Examples of technology revolution are telephone, digital cameras and printer.

2.1

THE TELEPHONE
The word telephone comes from the Greek words meaning far and sound. The telephones are mostly popular used on nowadays. The telephone has been instrumental in the communication revolution of our world. It has reformed the way that we can communicate with one another. There are few inventions that can cause as much of a reaction as the telephone. Refer to table 1, which describe the detail of telephone revolution.

DIGITAL CAMERAS
The digital camera so popular today is the end product of a long evolution of cameras, from primitive pinholes and the surprisingly early advent of color photography to the high-tech 35mm cameras of the 20th Century that are all but obsolete now. Nowadays, cameras become standard features in cell phones. Refer to table 2, which describe the detail of digital cameras revolution.

Year 1826

Type/Event The First Camera

Description The First Camera Charles and Vincent Chevalier built the first camera that COULD produce photos, but the principle of making pictures themselves was created by a different person.

1975

The First Attempt

The Digital Camera TimelineFirst Digital CameraThe first recorded attempt at building a digital camera. The camera weighed 8 pounds, recorded black and white images to a cassette tape, had a resolution of 0.01 megapixel, and took 23 seconds to capture its first image.

PRINTER
The most influential invention ever in the printing business was the printing press way back in the 1400s. Today, society printers are used by many people on a daily basis, and they are, in large part, taken for granted by most. Refer to table 3, which describe the detail of printer revolution.

Year 1439

Type/Event Printing Press

Description The printing press was invented in Germany by a goldsmith named Johann Gutenberg. These wooden machines had to be manually operated, and even the ink had to apply to the text-blocks manually. At the time, this printing press are greatly increased the speed at which books were printed.

1550

The movable type press

In this revolution, Johannes Gutenberg invented the moveable type press. It is involved a hard metal punch with letters engraved back to front that was hammered into a softer copper bar, creating a matrix. It is placed into a mold and filter with molten-type metal. The resulting peice of type is then removed from the mold.

1814

Steam Printing Press

This printer is the first automatic printing press was constructed, and this printing press greatly increased the efficiency at which newspapers and books were printed. This primitive press was powered by steam.

1847

Rotary Printing Press

Rotary drum printing was invented by Richard March Hoe. It is a printing press in which the impressions are curved around a cylinder so that the printing can be done on long continuous rolls of paper, cardboard,

plastic, or a large number of other substrates.

1938

Xerox

Xerox printer invented by Chester Carison and called electrophotography. It was a way of transmitting and printing facsimiles of printed images using a beam of directed ions directed onto a rotating drum of insulating material. The ions would create an electrostatic charge on the drum. A fine powder could then be dusted upon the drum; the powder would stick to the parts of the drum that had been charged, This was the foundation technology for modern laser printing.

1953

First High Speed Printer

The first high speed printer was invented by Remington-Rand for the Universal Automatic Computer (UNIVAC). The printer was based on the electrophotography dry printing process called Xerox.

1969

Daisy Wheel Printer

David S. Lee invented this printer at Diablo Data Systems. In this printer, the system is an interchangeable metal or plastic "daisy wheel" holding an entire character set as raised characters moulded on each "petal". A motor rotates the wheel to position the required character between the hammer and the ribbon. A hammer drives the character type on to the ribbon and paper to print the character on the paper.

1976

IBM 3800

The IBM 3800 printer was installed in the central accounting office at F. W. Woolworths North American data center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1976." The IBM 3800 Printing System was the industrys first high-speed, laser printer. A laser printer that operated at speeds of more than 100 impressions-per-minute. It was the first printer to combine laser technology and electrophotography.

1984

HP LaserJet

The HP LaserJet was the first desktop laser printer priced at about $3,500. Dot-matrix and daisy-wheel units were both noisy. Dot-matrix had poor resolution, and daisy-wheels allowed only a limited number of fonts to be used. HP realized the field was wide open for product innovations. HP worked with Canon on laser printer technology as far back as the 1970s which led to the introduction of the first LaserJet.

1988

HP Deskjet

The HP DeskJet was the first mass-market inkjet printer. The DeskJet offered continuous plain-paper printing and higher print quality than its inkjet predecessors and was priced at about $1,000.

1994

Deskjet Colour

HP offers a Deskjet with a colour printing upgrade, creating a revolution in colour printing.

2009

Xerox ColorQube Solid Ink

Present

Solid ink created by Tektronix in 1986 and bought over by Xerox in 2000. Solid ink technology utilizes solid ink sticks in lieu of the fluid ink or toner powder usually used in printers. After the ink stick is loaded into the printing device, it is melted and used to produce images on paper. Xerox claims that solid ink printing produces more vibrant colors than other methods, is easier to use, can print on a wide range of media & is more environmentally friendly. Many the printers have been supplemented with new technology in a printer. The word all in one is the concept always that used in all printer technology which equipped with new technology. Example, Canon, Brother, HP, Xerox and others which equipped with scanner, printing and Fax technology in one printer.
