Description
The 21st century is undeniably an era dominated by high technology. The timeline for tracing the history of science and technology has drastically shrunk from one century to a mere decade, or even a couple of years. The “high” in high technology signifies its astonishing capacity to bring to life wonders that once only existed in our imaginations, while its rapid development defies any description short of “meteoric.” So, what constitutes high technology? How intertwined is it with our daily lives? How can we comprehend, acquire, and advance it? … Regarding high technology, we are confronted with myriad questions demanding answers. To address this, the professors at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) are at the forefront, delivering lectures on high technology while dedicating themselves to groundbreaking research in this field. This is where the “Encyclopedia for High-Tech Whys” comes into play.
