Television began a media revolution in the late 1940s transforming America and opening the nation to whole. The pace of scientific discovery in the 1940s was staggering. War Technology Many of the technological advancements of the 1940s were a result of wartime engineering.

The 1940s is arguably one of the most important decades of the past century. A winner in a data-storage game emerged that would dominate the computer field. The 1940s were the last decade in which radio was dominant.

Floral prints seem to dominate the early 1940s with the mid-to-late 1940s also seeing what is sometimes referred to as atomic prints or geometric patterns and shapes. However it eventually gained many other uses. They were built as tactical vehicles for the Army.

Not only did war break out but it was also followed by technological advancements that would transform the lives of the people. A photocopier is a machine that makes paper copies of documents and other visual images quickly and cheaply.

The 1940s Science and Technology. Most current photocopiers use a technology called xerography a dry process using heat. So were the polygraph lie detector and the iron lung.

The demands of war inspired the production of new substances and materials such as the antibiotic penicillin the. Things like the color TV and the microwave oven. What follows is a list of some of the most amazing.

Television had become a viable technology in the late 1930s but technical delays and the war both stopped widespread introduction until the late 1940s. Science and Technology of the 1940s.
