Document Summary
Sismondo reading two questions concerning technology (pg 3: is technology applied science, technology as applied science means technology is driven by scientific discoveries. This theory states that science and technology are connected in the sense that basic scientific research has the ability to find new technologies: however, technology is more than just science. This proved that the direct involvement and influence of science on technology was small even with an institution that was heavily invested in science. In the first industrial revolution prior to the 20th century science and technology were still far apart. In the second industrial revolution there was a true connection. Science owes more to the steam engine than the steam engine owes to science . Engineers participate in knowledge traditions and so science doesn"t own technological knowledge because it is not as important as science. *********how science and technology relate? (second industrial revolution)!!!! No essential features would mean no systematic effects and no influence on society.
