Science and Technology
Radar, guided missiles, nuclear submarines, reconnaissance satellites, atomic
bombs—the inventions of the 20th century seem intended mainly for war, with the
usual dreaded results. But these technological developments have also had far-
reaching applications in peacetime. Because the innovations were originally intend-
ed for the battlefield, they were developed quickly and with a narrow purpose.
However, their applications during peacetime have led to life-enhancing benefits
that will extend far into the 21st century.
1914–1918
WORLD WAR I
FIGHTER PLANES TO
COMMUTER FLIGHTS
Airplanes were first used to
gather military information
but were soon put to work
as fighters and bombers.
The Sopwith Camel (shown
at right), was one of the
most successful British
fighter planes, bringing
down almost 1,300 enemy
aircraft during World War I. The development of flight
technology eventually led to sophisticated supersonic
aircraft. Today, non-military aircraft are primarily used
for travel and cargo transport. Jumbo jets carry hun-
dreds of passengers with each takeoff.

The United States in World War II 795
ATOM BOMBS TO BRAIN SCANS
Faced with alarming rumors of work on a German atomic bomb, America
mobilized some of the finest scientific minds in the world to create its own
atomic bomb. The energy released by its nuclear reaction was enough to
kill hundreds of thousands of people, as evidenced by the destruction of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But the resulting ability to harness the atom’s
energy also led to new technologies for diagnosing and treating human
diseases. Techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) now
reveal the inner workings of the human brain itself.
