∙ 13y agoWhile this is a very broad question, an example would be that of the use of hot air balloons and aeroplanes in the First World War.
The British Royal Flying Corps began to use these methods to map the trenches of the German opposition and form appropriate battle plans, and later on the pilots would drop hand-held explosives from their planes on the trenches, in the first application of a bombing run.
Another example would be that of the tank. When it was originally invented (designed by Royal Naval engineers of all things) the tank was the new offensive weapon for the British. The Little Willie, as it was called, was shaped in such a way that it could easily traverse the crater-strewn no-man's-land between the trenches, and the Germans had never seen a weapon of this type before, greatly effecting morale.
If you're looking for a more broad answer, not only on the First World War, it may be worth you reading On War by Carl von Clauswitz. Otherwise, it may be worth you making your question a little more specific.

The world does not shrink but advances in communication technology make it appear so.
Thesis statement on world war 1's technology?
Maybe you should make one up yourself and not have other people do it for you!
How did technology make World War 1 and 2 different?
Planes during WW1 were used as surveillance and if they wanted to drop bombs the pilot had to physically pick up a bomb and drop it. In WW2 they were used for air to air combat and could actually mechanically drop bombs.

Are science and technology the same?
Not really they are two different words. Science is the philosophy of understanding the natural world and how it works. Technology is the application of understanding in order to make machines that work.
How has technology helped people in the world today?
Technology has helped to improve industry, and has helped to make common items cheaper and more available for use. It has made life as we know it different, faster, and much cheaper.
Does technology make the world go round?
Yes, technology can solve problems. Unfortunately, if technology is not used wisely, it can also create problems.
Can new technology solve world problems?
There is no way of knowing if new technology will solve world problems since we have no way of knowing what new technology is going to be developed, or for that matter, what world problems will exist at the time that technology is developed. It is possible that new technology will be used to solve world problems, and it is also possible that new technology will be used to make world problems worse. We will have to wait and see.
Is Technology not control over technology?
No, because technology isn't just what people make, technology is also grass, water, etc. Technology is everything in this world, in a way. Trust me when I say this, because I had to do a home work assignment on this.
Do you agree that the world has shrunken over the time?
The world does not shrink but advances in communication technology make it appear so.
Why you program?
To develop software, make new inventions. Make new technology, solve real world problems.
Distinguish science from technology?
Science is the study of natural phenomenons of the world. Technology is the APPLICATION of science to people's lives to make life easier :)
How is technology different from 50 years until now?
Technology is different because we did not discover how to make all sorts of things we have better not many new things have been invented but lots of things improved.
Explain two ways in which science is different from technology?
1. Science is researching things, and technology is the way we apply it in our lives. 2. Science is testing hypotheses, and technology is what we can make after we apply what we learn.
