Compared to the Spanish, the English saw colonization as a vital source for the expansion of their landholding. More fertile land to grow their crops meant more resources, which would satisfy England’s growing population. The Spanish were looking to conquer North America for not only the land but also for the native people to be trafficked for slavery. Rather than a talk of complete conquest, planting was a form of settlement for the English showing that agricultural pursuits were their goal. Therefore, North America with its fertile soil and productive climate was a goldmine for the English. Thomas Harriot’s A Briefe and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia chronicles Harriot’s discoveries in Virginia of not only the traditions/cultural aspects of the Virginian Native Americans but also the climate and soil conditions of the land. As it was England’s goal to achieve…

Since the beginning Americans have sought for ways to make life easier, more convenient and more fun by inventing things and pushing technology further and further into our everyday life styles. You can find evidence of this by just looking a little way into our history. Sometimes these inventions are made by daredevils willing to risk their lives just so their names will be recognized, and sometimes these inventions are made because of the need of new designs and ideas in order to preserve a way of life. The latter is the case of most of the inventions during the civil war. In war, conditions often create random necessities that require inventions.…
After the end of the Civil War, American jobs were growing extremely fast. So many of these jobs popped up that business owners needed more laborers to fill them. Ultimately, families sent their children to work for these business owners because they needed the money. Furthermore, children often worked with their parents in the same factory, which made the companies excessive amounts of money. The National Child Labor Committee, or the NCLC, was founded in 1904 to combat these big corporations.…

Innovations in communication technology are what let battle action reports and other information to travel faster than ever before. The primary carrier of news was the telegraph; this allowed Generals and government bureaucrats to communicate like never before. Now headquarters and leaders safely behind the lines could command troops without placing themselves in danger, a trend that has continued well into modern times. Another aspect showing that of the modern world is how President Lincoln utilized the War Department’s telegraph office to gain information on the war effort. In addition, newspaper reporters could send news to the home front instantaneously expanding media coverage serving as their version of cable news. This ability to grow lines of communication resulted in more than 15,000 miles of telegraph cables setup to meet the military and civilian needs. In the past, runners carrying letters transmitted news from the front; now the world could get information from the battlefield as it…
In Europ radio telephone was the first used on the first-class passenger trains between Berlin and Hamburg in 1926. At the same time, radio telephony was introduced on a passenger airlplanes for air traffic security. It was also introduced on a large scale in German tanks during the Second World War. The in early 1950’s ships on the rhine were among the first to used the radio telephony with an untrained end customer as a user. It was the 1940’s onwards that saw the seed of the technological development which would enventually produced the mobile phone. Motorola developed backpacked two-way radio, the Walkie-Talkie and a large hand-held-two way radio for the US military. This battery powered “Handie-Talkie was about the size of a man’s forearm. In December 1947, Douglas H. ring and W. Rae Young, Bell Labs engineers proposed hexagonal cells for the mobile phones in the vehicles. Philip To Porter also of Bell Labs, proposed that the cell Towers be at the corners of the hexagons rather than the centers and have directional antennas that would transmit/receive. During the 1950’s the expirement of the pioneers started to appear as usable services across society, both commercially and culturally. In 1969, a patent for a wireless phone using an acoustic coupler for incoming calls was issued in US patent. In December 1971, AT&T submitted a proposal for a cellular service to the Federal…
What properties differentiate human language from all other forms of signaling and what properties make it a unique type of communication system? There have been a number of attempts to determine the defining properties of human language and different lists of features can be found. The following is a slightly modified list of features proposed by the linguist Charles Hockett: 1. Arbitrariness. It is generally the case that there is no 'natural' connection between a linguistic form and its meaning.…
