Technology is often the product of people and their circumstances, yet its influence also far surpasses its immediate environment. This understanding of technology helps to explain the resulting changes to human behavior that occur over time, especially when one considers the historical periods involved in the development and distributions of specific technologies.In keeping with the idea that some technologies may possess inherent value-laden qualities, consider how the invention of mechanized timekeeping devices (such as the mechanical clock) has radically changed human behavior over the last 1000 years. Explain the historical context and cultural traditions that led to the development of the mechanical clock. Based on research on how the development and adoption of the mechanical clock in Europe later affected the United States with credible sources and examples. Then, consider as an individual's experience with a form of artifactual timekeeping. Consider the influence that precision in accurate timekeeping would impact upon the behavior, both in everyday life and especially as an engineer.

Just Need Answers for the following:

1. Describe the history of the mechanical clock, including at least one influence that led to its development (e.g., historical, cultural, religious, social, economic, political).

2. Explain how the mechanical clock gave rise to the concept of artifactual time.

3. Explain how precision in accurate timekeeping affected human behavior in both Europe and the United States. Please provide instances to backup as evidence examples.

4. Think about how artifactual timekeeping has affected behavior, both in everyday life and especially as an engineer i.e. consider the importance of measuring time with accuracy and precision that makes possible training as an engineer.
