The History of Systems, Engineering, and Technology are the terms used to describe the applications of computing and engineering in general. Such terms have become prevalent with the increasing use of computers, data processing, and information retrieval. The contents of this book deal with all processes within IT, architecture, telecommunications, operating system, applications languages, e-commerce, databases, machines, and their analyses. Under the section of Technology the book includes the history of technology, engineering in the ancient world, tools and weapons. The book also covers the recent manufacturing of military technology, agriculture, crafts, communications, and the atomic power. In this write-up the subjects of pharmaceuticals and medical technology, space exploration, science, criticisms of technology, the dilemmatic nuclear technology, and their histories are well presented.
