 * ===//**WHERE DID THE NUMBER ZERO COME FROM?**//===

===//**ANSWER: THE NUMBER ZERO CAME FROM INDIA ALTHOUGH IT WAS CREATED BY THE MAYAINS. The actual number zero (0) was first used in India circa the 9th century BCE. The concept of zero was known earlier (arguably as far back as the Babylonians), but it was not used in calculations and not treated as a true number, ough it was mainly found in the Hindu Arabic system. **//===


 * ===//** WHEN DID THE NUMBER ZERO SPREAD TO EUROPE? **//===


 * ===//**DESCRIBE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE ROMAN NUMERAL SYSTEM?**//===


 * ===//**NAME THE MAN WHO BROUGHT TO EUROPE?**//===

===//**ANSWER: THE NUMBER ZERO AS WE KNOW IT ARRIVED IN THE WEST CIRCA 1200, MOST FAMOUSLY DELIVERED BY ITALIAN MATHEMATICCIAN FIBONACCI( AKA LEONARDO OF PISA), WHO BROUGHT IT, ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE ARABIC NUMERALS, BACK FROM HIS TRAVEL TO NORTH AFRICA. THE ONE THAT WE GOT THE ZERO FROM CAME FROM THE FERTILE CRECENT. IT FIRST CAME TO BE BETWEEN 400 AND 300 BC. IN BABYLON, SCIFE SAYS, BEFORE DEVELOPING IN INDIA, WENDING its WAY THROUGH NOTHERN AFRICA AND IN FIBONACCI’S HANDS, CROSSING INTO EUROPE VIA EUROPE.**//===


 * ===//**WHICH CITY IN ITALY FIRST USED THE NUMBER ZERO?**//===


 * ===//** WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY? **//===

//** ANSWER: **//
===//**Technology is the making, usage, and knowledge of [|tools], [|machines], techniques, [|crafts], [|systems] or methods of organization in order to solve a problem or perform a specific function. It can also refer to the collection of such tools, machinery, and procedures. Technologies significantly affect human as well as other animal species' ability to control and adapt to their natural environments.**//===

//**[|//http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology//]**//
===//** Technology is the process by which humans modify nature to meet their needs and wants. Most people, however, think of technology in terms of its artifacts: computers and software, aircraft, pesticides, water-treatment plants, birth-control pills, and microwave ovens, to name a few. But technology is more than these tangible products. Technology includes the entire infrastructure necessary for the design, manufacture, operation, and repair of technological artifacts, from corporate headquarters and engineering schools to manufacturing plants and maintenance facilities. The knowledge and processes used to create and to operate technological artifacts -- engineering know-how, manufacturing expertise, and various technical skills -- are equally important part of technology.

===//**Technology has helped people create the world that we see around us. From the simple hammer that was invented and then used to build houses to the computers we use know to solve complex problems and find cures for diseases. It has been through technology has our species been able to live so long and understand our world.**//===

//**[]**//
===//** This same technology is now providing more choice when it comes to education. It is no longer necessary to attend lessons in a classroom in order to further our learning. The widespread use of the Internet has globalized education and enabled educational institutions to be able to offer courses to students anywhere in the world. E-learning has changed the way that courses can be taught and distance education has removed the traditional barriers of higher education. **//===


 * ===//** WHAT WERE THE EFFECTS OF TECHNOLOGY EVOLUTION? **//===

//** ANSWER: Nuclear Technology **//
===//**To illustrate this point, let us first examine an exceedingly significant technological advance of our time, nuclear technology. Nuclear technology is research that involves the reactions of atomic nuclei. It has many vital applications in modern society, the most prominent of which are nuclear weapons, nuclear medicine, and nuclear power. The most controversial of these is, without a doubt, nuclear weapons.**//===

//**[]**//
===//** The Industrial Revolution marks a major turning point in history; almost every aspect of daily life was influenced in some way. Most notably, average income and population began to exhibit unprecedented sustained growth. In the two centuries following 1800, the world's average per capita income increased over tenfold, while the world's population increased over sixfold.[2] In the words of Nobel Prize winner Robert E. Lucas, Jr. "For the first time in history, the living standards of the masses of ordinary people have begun to undergo sustained growth ... Nothing remotely like this economic behavior has happened before".[3] **//=== ===//** Starting in the later part of the 18th century, there began a transition in parts of Great Britain's previously manual labour and draft-animal–based economy towards machine-based manufacturing. It started with the mechanisation of the textile industries, the development of [|iron-making] techniques and the increased use of refined coal.[4] Trade expansion was enabled by the introduction of canals, improved roads and railways.[5] With the transition away from an agricultural-based economy and towards machine-based manufacturing came a great influx of population from the countryside and into the towns and cities, which swelled in population.[6 **//=== ===//** The introduction of steam power fuelled primarily by coal, wider utilisation of water wheels and powered machinery (mainly in textile manufacturing) underpinned the dramatic increases in production capacity.[5] The development of all-metal machine tools in the first two decades of the 19th century facilitated the manufacture of more production machines for manufacturing in other industries. The effects spread throughout Western Europe and North America during the 19th century, eventually affecting most of the world, a process that continues as industrialisation. The impact of this change on society was enormous.[7] **//=== ===//** around 1850, when technological and economic progress gained momentum with the development of steam-powered ships, railways, and later in the 19th century with the [|internal combustion engine] and electrical power generation **//===


 * ===//** Evolution underlies many improvements in agriculture (e.g., the artificial selection of crop strains and livestock breeds). **//===
 * ===//** A less well-known fact is that evolutionary principles were used to produce many of our best vaccines and that evolution also causes problems with the use of some of those vaccines. **//===
 * ===//** Some of the most promising areas for the future use of evolutionary biology lie in drug development and the biotechnology industry; patents worth vast amounts of money are based on ways of creating evolution (or avoiding evolution) in test tubes. **//===

//** What were the positive and negative effects of the Agricultural Revolution? **//
===//**POSITIVES:* Greater efficiency and technology allowed much more food to be grown.* The cost of food went down.* Fewer people were needed to grow more food.* Britons had access to a more nutritious and varied diet.* Many people now had time to do things other than secure sustenance.NEGATIVES:* The Enclosure Movement kicked many traditional farmers off the community-owned land they had used, putting them out of work.* With fewer people needed to grow more food, other farm workers were put out of work.* The population of England rose relatively quickly.**//===


 * ===//** HOW DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES IMPACT ON EACH OTHER? **//===
 * Technology has amplified the rate at which we communicate with the world around us. Developments like email, instant messaging, texting, cell phones, Twitter, social networking sites like Facebook and Myspace, and video conferencing have allowed us to connect with each other at breakneck speeds. This has helped us in some ways by allowing us to get in touch with each other quickly for both business and emergency needs.
 * Technology has changed how when contact each other, when, and where. With cell phone service being much more consistent than it was in the 1990s, and a growing market of smartphones with mobile internet and email access, messages can literally be transmitted anywhere at any time. This is uniquely helpful in a professional sense, because it allows you to stay in touch with colleagues when on a business trip or out of the country.

 * ===//** HOW DID TECHNOLOGY INFLUENCE KNOWLEDGE? **//===

//** ANSWER: How Technology Has Influenced Education **//
===//** The purpose of education has evolved with society; education exists to benefit the society. Different societies have different needs for education based on the type of government, economy, and technology available to the society. As populations grow, the education system is modified to deal with the increase in population and the diverse needs of the society. **//=== ===//** The goal of educating all citizens was to improve the prosperity of the society- a society that was working to establish roots in a new world where they could escape the controlling government that they came from. Education was still used as a way to maintain social superiority in that only the elite received higher levels of education. As the country developed and grew, the common schools evolved to protect the ideals of Protestant culture. With the increasing numbers of immigrants coming into the country, it was believed that a common education would unite all of the cultures and protect the ideals of those who founded the country.The Industrial Age brought about many changes to the public schools. Schools at this point in history now needed to not only prepare students for working in the industrial world, they also needed to care for the increased population in the cities. Social services were incorporated into the schools and curriculum continued to change to meet the needs of the evolving society. The software became more interactive and the assessments could be graded by the computer. This gave students immediate feedback and saved the teacher time by not having to grade the tests. Tools then developed to allow the student to program what they were learning into the computer. One example of this today would be using a music notation program to write out music. []**//===


 * ===//**How come the number Zero spread from India to europe about 1200 AD but not from South America even though we know the Mayans were using the number Zero in 200AD?**//===

//** ANSWER: **//
===//**The number zero didn’t spread anywhere from the Mayans because they didn’t have many links between themselves and other communities. They used to trade within themselves or they used to trade with nearby civilizations. On the other hand the zero spread from India along to the gulf because of relations and different social activities than the Mayans. From the gulf traders went to Europe.**//===

//**. Technology is the making, usage, and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, crafts, systems or methods of organization in order to solve a problem **//
===//**Technologies have reshaped our lives a lot. We have become more interdependent with different technologies. Everything is based on technology. Spending your time on TV to doing business on a computer require technology.**//===

//**. One of the ways is the internet because most knowledge comes when you talk to people. Internet brings people closer with their websites and email address.**//
===//**Another thing can be something as simple as a word document. Cause of spell check it increases your chances of being right with grammar and spelling. All these things have advantages to knowledge and many others.**//=== ===//**. Different technologies can have many great impacts on each other. Take a play station one for example. It was a leading game console but in a couple of years became useless compared to the features of the play station two. Technology increases as one thing tries to beat the other.**//===

===//** The first recorded zero is attributed to the Babylonians in the 3rd century BC. A long period followed when no one else used a zero place holder. But then the Mayans, halfway around the world in Central America, independently invented zero in the fourth century CE. The final independent invention of zero in India was long debated by scholars, but seems to be set around the middle of the fifth century. It spread to Cambodia around the end of the 7th century. From India it moved into China and then to the Islamic countries. Zero finally reached western Europe in the 12th century. **//===

===//** The Babylonians were the first culture to invent the place value system. They had a sexigesimal number system, that is, they counted in 60s, as we count in tens. When you count minutes in an hour or measure circles you are thinking in sexigesimal. **//===

===//** Of course the Babylonians didn’t use our numerals. They wrote in cuneiform, a writing system optimized for writing in damp clay tablets. They used two symbols to represent all the numbers from 1 to 59. The wedge was used for a one and the crescent equalled a 10. By grouping them together, they created symbols for all 59 numbers. **//===

===//** The nr. zero was invented independently in India and by the Maya. In India a decimal system was used, like ours, but they used an empty space for zero up to 3rd Century BC. This was confusing for an empty space was also used to separate numbers, and so they invented the dot for a zero. The first evidence for the use of the symbol that we now know as zero stems from the 7th century AD. The Maya invented the number zero for their calendars in the 3rd century AD. The number zero reached European civilisation through the Arabs after 800 AD. The Greek and Roman did not need the number zero for they did their calculations on an abacus. The name 'zero' comes from the arabic 'sifr'. (Data from the book "the calender" by D. E. Duncan. **//===

===//** It was invented by a Hindu mathematician Ramanujacharya in India the number zero was one of the last numbers invented because the ancient egyptions never used them and not many other countries at the time used maths. **//===

===//**The concept Zero played a major role in seeing the growth of higher mathematics which is a major step in the history of mankind. Zero is also a synonym of the word none. Although there are many stories that surround the invention of the number zero, studies show that the number was invented by a group of people from the Mayan civilization. At that time, the decimal system was in use just as it is today only that a space was left to indicate a zero up until the third century BC. The other version of the story is that, it was invented by the Indian mathematician and astronomer, Aryabhata, around 9th century C.E. There is also a claim that tracks the invention of zero back to 300 B.C in Babylon. All these inventions were independently made, and were not connected. []**//===

===//**ANALYSATION: MY OPINION- MY OPINION AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS INFORMATION IS THAT I AM REALLY CONFUSED WITH WHO MADE THE NUMBER ZERO BECAUSE SOME RESEARCHES SAY THAT INDIANS INVENTED IT BUT SOME SAY MAYA PEOPLE AND SOME RESEARCH SAYS THAT BOTH THE COUNTRIES TOGHTER MADE THE NUMBER ZERO. SO IAM REALLY CONFUSED WITH THAT.**//===


 * ===//** THERE MUST BE ONLY SIX SLIDES, NO MORE THAN TEN. **//===

//** TEST PLAN : **//
===//** I HAVE TO CHECK IF THE POWERPOINT PRESANTATION WORKS AND I WILL ALSO HAVE TO CHECK IF MY PRESANTATION MATCHES MY DESIGN SPECIFICATION. WILL ALSO ASK ONE OR MORE FRIENDS TO LOOK AT MY TEST PLAN AND THEN I WILL SHOW THEM MY POER POINT PRESENTATION AND I WILL ALSO CHANGE WHAT EVER THEY SAY IS NOT GOOD. I WILL ALSO NOT ASK MY FRIENDS BUT EVEN MY PARENTS AND MANY PEOPLE AND TELL THEM TO SAY THEIR OPINION AND I WILL GATHER UP MY INFORMATION AND I WILL SEE WHAT I CAN DO TO MAKE MY PRESENTATATION BETTER AND ATTRACTIVE. **//===

===//** I HAVE TO RESEARCH IN MORE THAN ONE WEBSITE TO MAKE SURE THAT INFORMATION IS CORRECT AND I HAVE TO LIST ALL THE SOUCES IN WHICH I FOUND INFORMATION IN. I ALSO HAVE TO ADD PICTURES SO THAT IF THE PERSON READING CAN’T understand it they can at least get an idea form the picture. I WILL HAVE TO MFOLLOW MY PLAN OTHERWISE IF I GET AN IDEA WHEN I AM DOING MY CREATE; I WILL HAVE TO BE CHANGING MY PLAN AGAIN AND AGAIN. I WILL ALSO WRITE THE TIME I NEED FOR EACH SLIDE TO HELP MY FOR TIME MANAGEMENT, AND I WILL ALSO HAVE TO DO ONE SLIDE BY ONE AND START M NEXT SLIDE ONLY IF I FINISH MY FIRST SLIDE. I ALSO HAVE TO USE THE INTERNET IF NESSASRY, I WILL DO THE CREATE ON MICROSOFT POERPOINT. **//===

===//** I am writing this to show the difference from my plan and my create. In slides three and four I wanted to put pictures but I didn’t because in slide three the information was even outside the whole slide and slide four I could find pictures but the writing was not able to see when [pasted in the PowerPoint slide number four. I totally wanted to have five pictures but I only put four pictures. For my time management some slides took more than the normal time in my plan and some less, and also some the same time..

===//** I had no problems with my internet sources. I didn’t find more information and I only researched information for each slide in one internet source. I also didn’t use internet for my first and last slides. It was easy to do my create. I did everything else in order. I did my first slide on day one, second slide on day two and uploaded everything on day seven as written in my plan. It was very easy and I managed to follow my plan except for the time and time used. **//===

===//** Now I have finished my work and this is my evaluation to show if I followed my testing plans and if I was able to do my PowerPoint presentation by following my plan and design. When I asked one of my friends they said that the colour black is so dark so I have to change it, and he also said that my title colour was not good. I will always ask my friend or my parents before handing or uploading works. I know I still have to add some more information in some of them so that the audience can get more understanding as all of us will research different information. They also told me that if smaller children are reading it they also have understood it so don’t use complicated words. They also said in one of my slides I added so much information that the information went over the slide so mi had to reduce the information. I was able to follow my design but not my design specification, although there is only one thing I didn’t follow which is instead of having seven pictures I got eight pictures. I also did not follow my plan as I wrote the time I was going to use for each slide but some of them went higher than the time I wrote and some less, I put less time for some because I already got some of my information already and I already designed my slides before writing my information. I managed to follow the days of which slide I am doing. I also couldn’t add the pictures I wrote because I couldn’t find them. I tried to find the pictures by taking all the time I can but I still couldn’t find them so I decided to not add pictures for some slides. Also for one of my slides the information went over the slide as there was so much information about “ANCIENT EGYPT”. I also did not scan my design but instead I just added link and if somebody wants’ to see it they have to click on it. I know it is hard! I also could have added more detail and more information. Overall this was a good unit and I always like learning about history and also in maths because I learned this it was easy for me to find information. I also used as many sources as I can and I also listed all of them down. I really liked this unit and everything else went brilliantly and I was able to follow everything. **//===
