The application of scientific knowledge for the use of practical purposes is commonly defined as technology. During the 1920’s is when the entire craze began about technology, when the invention of the car was discovered. During this time new advancements, discoveries, and inventions improved the lives of many Americans. Technology results in expanding innovative ideas that are built on existing ideas. Different industries are developing new technologies according to the needs and requirements of today’s society. These advancements vary from generation to generation, impacting employment, agricultural techniques, social, mobile and audio technologies.

It has made some labor intensive jobs easier to do cutting the time in half.

Over the years most agricultural work was done through human labor. “Farming technology has undergone a huge transformation since the early 1800’s as the author Renee Thibault stated in the article.” Better equipment equals better efficiency, yields and productivity as acknowledged in the article “Advancements in Farm Tech.” The use of technology for farmers proceeds in producing more food for a continuing growing world. Farmers use machineries such as motorized equipment, modified housing, and biotechnology, which allow improvement in agriculture. As a result farmers are able to feed more people but the repercussion is the need for less workers. Acreage has grown in size due to radical efficiency.
