China’s Technology I In America we use technology for entertainment mostly. But in China they use it for recourses and inventions that make life easier. For example America Came out with an Apple iPad and in China they made a fully electric car. This paper will be talking about the similarities and differences between the USA and China. A great invention by the Chinese is gunpowder. Which helps eject ammunition from a firearm. The first way the Chinese used gunpowder was to shoot rockets out of bamboo pipes at enemies. This inventions led to further success in the world A 17 year old in China made an amphibious bike where there are water jugs attached to the bottom of the bike. When you peddle you push a paddle that moves you through the water. China also came up with the first compass using the magnetic force in the earth. The man with the wise idea is Feng Shui. His genius idea traveled around the globe and is now used by nearly everyone to navigate through their lives. Bi Sheng invented the moveable type. He invented it in 1,045 AD. 300 years later a man in Europe picked up the idea which helped China a lot. The US uses an average of about 26 characters, but China uses about 3,000 to 5,000 characters a newspaper which is incredibly hard to type. The Chinese language is a lot tougher than the US from a 26 letter alphabet to a 5,000. Think about how many times you use paper in a day. The Egyptians did come up with the idea. But after China found out about it, it exploded around the globe. But instead of using Papyrus trees China uses bamboo fibers to make their papers. Now you know how much the Chinese impacted on technology. We have to thank the Chinese for printing, gunpowder, the amphibious bike, the compass ect.
