Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Even in ancient times, people have found ways to make their lives easier through technology. Centuries before, humans have created the foundation of modern technological advances by creating the simplest machines, such as the wheel and the ladder. Using human intelligence and innovation, we have created a world full of possibilities. Over time, we have created technological masterpieces that have even expanded into the kingdom of biology and astronomy.

People are more and more embracing new technologies that have various uses in their daily lives. We are now able to do anything with just the right device and the proper knowledge of how to use it.
