Hotel Computerized Reservation and Billing System
Technology The earliest evidence of technological progress in the India is to be found in the remains of Harappan civilization (4000-3000 BC.). Archaeological remains point to the existence of well planned urban centres the boasted of private and public dwelling laid out in orderly fashion along with roads and drainage systems completing them. The drainage systems are particularly remarkable for the times since they are built underground and constructed in a manner to allow for regular cleaning. The small drains from privates homes connected to the larger public drains while the larger dwellings are invariably multi-storied and all homes were constructed from standardized fired and provided for separate cooking areas and toilets. Storage facilities for grains and goods for trade were built as a public baths and other building intended for various public function. And the urban centres planned riverine or sea-ports with accurate weights and measures were in use and ports such as lothal were developed as export centres of early manufactured products form smelted copper and bronze. Kilns for smelting copper ingots and casting tools were in existence as were metal tools such as curved or circular saws, pierced needles and most significantly, bronze drills with twisted grooves. The drill enabled the production of items with unparallel precision for the times and could be regarded as an ancient precursor of the modern machine tool. There is also evidence of planned irrigation systems and it’s appears that fire and flood control measures to protect farms and villages were also in decorated in a variety of colours and design. Cotton was grown and used to produce textiles.
LEARNING INSIGHT: In their technology they well planned what they needs or priority. They choose what they much needed or uses, and every technology they think if that technology can contribute them a lot. Like they created a drainage system that very useful for their regular cleaning, I

    Shortly before 3000 BCE, Mesopotamians invented a technological idea which ended in a writing system called cuneiform that increased communication, record keeping, and abstract thought. Through symbols written on wet clay tablets that represented objects and sounds, history could be recorded for the first time. Writing was a major expansion of the conceptual horizon of humankind that reached back to the first flaked stones, ornaments, figurines, and cave paintings in the Paleolithic (Von Sivers 44). Early metallurgists discovered that by adding tin to copper they were able to make bronze which was much harder than copper and provided a sharper cutting edge which was the start of the Bronze Age (Lecture). By 2800 BCE Sumer entered into what is described as the protoliterate period where scribes would work with pictograms and official seals but there was still no official written language (Lecture). Harappan cities were unique to the 1700’s BCE due to the meticulously planned grid-like design that included a most elaborate urban sewer system for ancient times. Remarkably straight, brick paved streets ran in north/south, east/west axes forming square blocks of public buildings, temples, and markets in convenient locations. Houses had brick-lined indoor wells and primitive toilets emptying into terra-cotta cesspits whose overflow connected to the city’s drains and sewers (Von Sivers 80). Located several miles up the Sabarmati River from the Gulf of Khambat, Lothal was a large, perhaps the chief, of all trading seaports around 1700 BCE.…

    In chapter two I had read about the emergence of civilization in India and the Harappan society. Approximately four thousand years ago the Aryan people moved southward which were settled in central Asia before. India has and still is country of diversity the religions Buddhism and Hinduism started in India. Also India is home to some of the highest mountains on earth which are the Himalaya and Karakoram mountain ranges. The Harappan civilization shared some of the cultures of Nile valley and Mesopotamia. The people of Harappan civilization had lived in small villages and settled in small red mud-brick homes. The people of the harappan civilization were raised on mostly agriculture which meant that barley, wheat and rice were their only crops. They were also the first to work with cotton seeds. The Harappan people started a trading network with the country Sumer. They would exchange lumber and copper for textiles and foodstuffs these products were imported by ships but rarely by land. Although the Harappan civilization came to an end in 1500 b.c.e. which is still a mystery to this day. The remains of the Harappan civilization were later destroyed by the Aryans which who were nomads that came from the north. The Aryans had arrived there around the second millennium. They were also the first to invent the horse-drawn chariots which gave them an advantage with their lives. Than in 1500 and 1000 b.c.e. the Aryans moved to the northern part of India. The Aryan people were intelligent they managed to create their own writing system that was based on the Aramaic script. Most Aryan groups were led by a chief which than was called a raja or a “prince”. That’s why India is still known as a diversity country till this…

    In the 1920’s, a discovery proved that Egypt and Mesopotamia weren’t the only “early civilizations”. The discovery was a 4,600 year old city found in the vast Indus River Plains. This city was not only an old city, it was a big one too. Twice the size of other “early civilizations”. I will be discussing the agriculture, trade, and technological advancement of this civilization. I believe that out of all of the other civilizations, this one got it right.…

    The Indus Valley Civilization, which spread and flourished in the north-western part of the Indian subcontinent from c. 3300 to 1300 BCE, was the first major civilization in India. A sophisticated and technologically advanced urban culture developed in the Mature Harappan period, from 2600 to 1900 BCE. The Bronze Age in the Indian subcontinent began around 3300 BCE with the early Indus Valley Civilization. It was centered on the Indus River and its tributaries which extended into the Ghaggar-Hakra River valley, the Ganges-Yamuna Doab, Gujarat and southeastern Afghanistan.The civilization is primarily located in modern day India (Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan provinces) and Pakistan (Sindh, Punjab, and Balochistan provinces). Historically part of Ancient India, it is one of the world's earliest urban civilizations, along with Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt. Inhabitants of the ancient Indus river valley, the Harappans, developed new techniques in metallurgy and handicraft (carneol products, seal carving) produced copper, bronze, lead and tin. The civilization is noted for its cities built of brick, road-side drainage system and multi-storied houses.…

    Of the four major early civilizations, consisting of Mesopotamia, Egypt and China, the Indus Valley Civilization is the biggest mystery by far. Due to the fact that the script of the civilization remains undeciphered, historians have to rely on remaining evidence of the civilization to learn about the culture. Located in present day Pakistan, northwest India, and eastern Afghanistan, Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro are two of the largest cities excavated from the ancient civilization. Remains of these cities show an exceptional advancement in the civilization at the time. Actually, the roadside irrigation systems, waste disposal, and plumbing/water systems that suggest a high standard of hygiene, were more advanced and efficient then in many modern day areas. Standardized fired bricks, superior to other ancient civilizations of the time, were used to build most major architecture in the large cities, and imply that cities were plentiful with skilled tradesman. The Indus Valley Civilization is considered to be one of the first examples of urban-central planning. Evidence of public market areas and vast amounts of Indus artisan work imply the city relied heavily on trade, and was full of artisans and merchants as well. Further evidence is shown in the Indus artifacts found as far as central Asia, the Arabian Gulf region, and distant Mesopotamia. Highly impressive, is the advanced measuring system assumed to have been used for taxing and controlling the trade industry (Kenoyer). Lack of battles and military suggest a peaceful, socially equal society, though this is not to say that major conflict wasn’t prevalent.…

    In 2300 B.C. the Indus Valley Civilization began developing itself into two large areas which ran along the river valleys of the Indus, Ravi and Sutlej. These river valleys were just below the Himalayan Mountains in what is now Pakistan and Northeast India. The Indus Valley Civilization was always under caution because of the unpredictable floods and the seasonal winds or monsoons. The positive side of these unpredictable floods and seasonal winds was the fertile soil along the Indus River. Research has found that the cities of the Indus Valley Civilizations had very well planned plumbing systems, sewers, and waste disposal, which was one of the thought to be one of the adaptations that only the Indus Valley Civilizations had started to use. This civilization was also an agriculturally based economy. Subsistence agriculture wasn't the only thing that the Indus River Civilization had used to support themselves, the Indus people also traded goods. The staple crop, cotton, was said to be the crop that tied the Mesopotamian and Indus Civilizations together, which in turn explains how the Indus peoples expanded their culture, through trade. The Indus Valley being so close to the coastline and having many rivers provided regular trafficking by water easier for the Indus people. Trade was also noted between Indus and Mesopotamia again by archaeologists' findings of Indus pottery in an ancient Mesopotamian city of Tell Asmar.…

    The archaeological history of India dates back to more than 2500 BC, when an urbanised civilisation known as the Indus Valley Civilisation flourished along the banks of River Indus, in the alluvial north - western plains. Similar findings like the coastal cities of Lothal and Dwarka came to light more recently along the coast of Gujarat. However, the Indus Valley Civilisation’s two urban centres at Mohenjodaro and Harappa gradually declined in the second millennium BC, and almost completely disintegrated around 1500 BC due to ecological reasons like drying up of rivers and drought. The coastal cities disintegrated due to massive floods.…
