Best Answer

River travels ensured that more goods could be transported and that time could be saved considerably. The disadvantage is that traveling vessels were limited and the safety of those on board and goods was not guaranteed.

Why are there many technologies are there in the us?

Everything that humans use is part of a technology. Some of these technologies even predate modern humans. No modern human has ever lived that did not make use of hundreds of different technologies every day of their lives. The total number of technologies (including both actively in use and those considered obsolete) is so large as to be impractical to count and has been growing since before the existence of modern humans. Since the industrial revolution in the early 1800s the rate of growth of the number of new technologies has become exponential with the result that now within a period as small as one to two decades more new technologies get created than all of the technologies modern humans had available to them before the industrial revolution.


When was The Computer Programme created?

The Countess Ada Augusta of Lovelace is usually credited with designing and writing the first computer program. However as the computer it was written for, Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, was never built this program was largely an academic exercise.The first program for a computer that was actually built was designed in 1944 and ran on the British cryptanalytic computer Colossus. It is unknown who did the work as the entire project was classified and most of the records were destroyed after the war.The first program for a stored program computer (the type that modern computers are), consisting of 17 instructions, was written by Tom Kilburn, and first ran on June 21, 1948 on the Manchester Baby computer.
