The development of utilizing technology of mechanical energy was accelerated at the speed which mankind had never experienced by the invention of steam engine. Steam engine brought people railways, power plant(發電廠), modern manufacturing plants and so on. Steam engine * The development of shipbuilding technology, telegraphic communication (電報Marconi 1874-1937), railway technology, and the invention of airplane in the first half of 19th century made people to communicate worldwide 2. Birth of international network * End of 19th century: Birth of power plant Invention of electric light bulb (Edison 1847-1931) is a milestone of modernization in 19th century. Electric light was rapidly spread in the industrial countries around the world with increasing number of power plants, and the age of electric energy had come. * A.D.1914-1918　World War 1 The First World War in which 32 countries participated was a war using technological armament such as submarine, aircraft, carrier, poison gas, machine gun. Many lives were sacrificed in the war, showing the dark side of energy and technology. * A.D.1939-1945　World War 2 The World War 2 is a very important milestone in the utilizataion of energy, because nuclear arms were used for the first time in the war. It shows that energy and technology can destroy the civilization, if they are used in wrong way. * Nuclear Explosion * A.D.1986 Accident at Chernobyls nuclear power plant This accident teach us that we should consider also dangerousness in thinking the use of energy. We cannot say absolutely safety“ in the field of nuclear energy. * A.D.1997＆1998　Rush of nuclear explosion tests North Korea, India, Pakistan are the countries which made nuclear explosion tests in recent years. Nuclear armament should not be appreciated even if it is for self-defense. The 20th century is the maturation period of high-technology and the beginning ages of new energy. However, we must always consider the adverse effect of using energy.
