Computer Age – Our current age –
The first computers were people. The term computer was a job title. It was give to people (usually woman) whose job it was to perform repetitive calculations such as tide table and navigational charts.
The Relationship of Science and Technology
Scientists - Spend time doing research and making discoveries.
Technologists – Use the knowledge discovered by scientists to develop new and better technologies.
******Technologists use the work of scientists to invent, and scientists use the work of technologists to make discoveries.
