Introduction As the world revolves, there are a lot of changes that happens in the world. For example, in terms of technology, there are a lot of improvements already. Back then, for example, features of mobile phones were only call and text. But more ideas have been developed and people have started to think about how to improve some things so that they can attract more consumers. The result is there are now more, in this case, high-tech phones with carious incredible features such as access to social media, hi-quality camera’s ability to upload to and download from the Internet, e-readers, and video calls for quicker and easier communication. In the world of fashion, there is denim. It is one of the world’s oldest fabrics, and has …show more content…

The demand for indigo cake increased as many wanted to use the cake for various purposes, such as using it as a blue dye for their painting. However, the supply of indigo cake was decreasing due to the hard production method, resulting a fluctuation in its price. But, a German chemist, Johann Friedrich Willhelm Adolf von Baeyer, developed a cheaper alternative method by making synthetic indigo. He started working with indigo in 1865. His work resulted in the first chemical synthesis of indigo, in 1880. And then, three years later, he announced the chemical structure of synthetic indigo. He then sold this invention to BASF (Badische Anilin- und Soda-Fabrik), an international chemical company, for $100,000. Synthetic indigo, by 1913, had almost completely replaced natural indigo, and by 2002, 17000 tons of synthetic indigo were produced worldwide.

Figure 1 demonstrates the 10 stages of production for Gap Inc. Jeans, from the raw material all the way through to the consumer as an end product. The first stage is the supply chain for the production of jeans is to source cotton. Gap has a sustainability and environmental issue when sourcing cotton. Gap Inc. scored a 0.5 out of a scale of 0 to 19.5 on cotton ranking, conducted by Rank a Brand. Which assessed “their cotton policy, sourcing and traceability based on publicly available information”. Besides the sustainability concern, gap has an environmental issue. Sourcing unstainable cotton uses a tremendous amount of water, as “It takes more than 5,000 gallons of water to make enough cotton for just a T-shirt and a pair of jeans”. It is also unclear to the consumer in which countries the cotton is sourced. As some countries like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan tend to be much more risk prone for child labor, during the cotton picking season.
Embroidery in India- includes dozens of regional embroidery styles that vary by region. Designs in Indian embroidery are formed on the basis of the texture and the design of the fabric and the stitch. The dot and the alternate dot, the circle, the square, the triangle and permutations and combinations of these constitute the design
First, I'm going to tell you about the history and uses of neon. Neon was discovered by Sir William Ramsay, a Scottish chemist, and Morris M. Travers, an English chemist, shortly after their discovery of the element krypton in 1898. Neon is one of the most amusing elements used today. Neon mixed with some other elements
Throughout the evolution of mankind, we made discoveries that change the way we live our lives today. Over time, these breakthroughs demonstrate the progress succumbed by the human race as challenges arise. Nevertheless, technology is a significant factor to the progress in today's world. If there was no tech then there would be no cell phones. Cell phones are one of those vital pieces of tech we use frequently. Tech is always around us. Humans create things to make life easier and resolve a once difficult task at hand. Moreover, inventions brought up in the past make the present and future bigger and brighter because of how much simpler life becomes. Because of the technological advancements

Glow sticks and LED light sticks are commonly seen in popular society at concerts and festivals. However, glow sticks have several other uses and were originally invented for use in the military. In the 1960s, scientists were interested in the light fireflies produced in nature. They discovered that this light could be produced without energy or heat using a chemical compound called luciferin. A Brooklyn-born chemistry specialist named Edwin A. Chandross accidentally identified the chemical mixes needed to create the glow of a glow stick when experimenting with luminol. The first light products using this mixture were created and patented by Michael M. Rauhut of American Cyanamid. The first official glow-stick-type mechanism was granted to
Development begun in the 19th century. Pharmaceuticals are produced as a result of activities carried out by a complex array of public and private organizations that are engaged in the development and manufacture of drugs. In this time new classes of pharmaceuticals were developed. In 1869 chloral
The rich and colourful heritage of India displays a wide variety of Arts and Crafts with beautiful shapes and textures also with variety of embellishments. Agra, the city of magnificent ‘Taj Mahal’ has long been the centre of excellent handicrafts flourished under the patronage of Royal guidance. Craftsmen of Agra maintained that kingly legacy and continue to develop creative artefacts and attained worldwide recognition for their aesthetic and creative artistic skills. They are sincere and simple people still trying to produce products with same depth of quality and same virtue of designs as their forefathers used to do.
At first, I was going to analyze and write about smartphones, however I found it more efficient to write also about a particular smartphone to narrow it down from such a broad technological artifact, such as answering who designed it, what for, what their position and the impact they want to have on society was, and their future visions. Therefore, I chose the iPhone as the centerpiece of smartphones I will be analyzing and an emphasis on applications. However, some of this information is relevant and interchangeable to all other smartphones. IPhones and smartphones allow us to access constant information and offer it the way we want it, as it is completely customizable now to fit our learning style. They keep us organized, send information to us in different ways, even shape and offer solutions such as for politics, economies, problems whether individual ones or globally. Smartphones capitalize on shared knowledge and has opened the door to inventors and those who have the knowledge to make our world a more connected place and lives easier by sharing it with us to use. We are able to communicate with other people far off, through space-time compression or shrinking-space to gather news and information.
Technology has, since the primitive years, always been used to invent tools in order to solve problems. This would, in turn, simplify and make man’s life easier. Through advancements in the field, man has become more efficient on both the macro- and microscopic level. Anything nowadays can be attained with either the flip of a switch or a click of a mouse. One particular technology that came about in this time was the smartphone. Since 2008, the smartphone, a device that combines a normal cell phone with a computer, typically offering Internet access, data storage, e-mail capability, etc. all in your hand was deemed as ground-breaking technology and created one of the largest and most competitive market in terms of

The first practical OLEDs: American physical chemist Ching W. Tang and Steven Van Slyke at Eastman Kodak built the first practical OLED device in 1987.This device used a two-layer structure with separate hole transporting and electron transporting layers such that recombination and light emission occurred in the middle of the organic layer; this resulted in a reduction in operating voltage and improvements in efficiency. 3. Evolution: The discovery of the electroluminescence in organic crystals by Martin Pope and his research group in 1963 has opened a new era, especially in the field of OLEDs. However, the development of organic electroluminescence based devices is very slow due to the requirement of high voltage as well as for low efficiency.
Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, the world has become a smaller place. The time used to travel to far distances has diminished; with the growth of new technologies, traveling and communicating have become simple daily tasks for many people. Through the growth of global communication, people have become closer to others across the globe, and business has gone world wide. One invention that came along with the technological revolution is the cell phone. Cell phones allow us to be reachable anywhere at anytime, letting us communicate even during travel. As time becomes more valuable for people, the importance of accessibility to communication also increases. With cell phones, the communication and
