         From a historical perspective, technological revolutions have coincided with population explosions. There have been three major technological revolutions – the tool-making revolution, the agriculture revolution, and the industrial revolution – all of which allowed humans more access to food, resulting in subsequent population explosion. For example, the use of tools, such as bow and arrow, allowed primitive hunters greater access to high energy foods (e.g. animal meat). Similarly, the transition to farming about 10.000 years ago greatly increased the overall food supply, which was used to support more people. Food production further increased with the industrial revolution as machinery, fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides were used to increase land under cultivation as well as crop yields. In short, similar to bacteria that multiply in response to increased food supply, humans have increased their population as soon as food became more abundant as a result of technological innovations.

    c.       Industrial revolution
    d.      Abundance of food(v)

    Surge Irrigation is a variant of furrow irrigation where the water supply is pulsed on and off in planned time periods (e.g. on for 1 hour off for 1½ hour). The wetting and drying cycles reduce infiltration rates resulting in faster advance rates and higher uniformitiesthan continuous flow. The reduction in infiltration is a result of surface consolidation, filling of cracks and micro pores and the disintegration of soil particles during rapid wetting and consequent surface sealing during each drying phase. On those soils where surging is effective it has been reported to allow completion of the irrigation with a lower overall water usage and therefore higher efficiency and potentially offer the ability to practice deficit irrigation. The effectiveness of surge irrigation is soil type dependent; for example, many clay soils experience a rapid sealing behavior under continuous flow and therefore surge irrigation offers little benefit.

    There are a wide variety of types of airplanes. For example, seaplanes, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) space shuttles,land planes, and carrier-based airplanes; all take advantage of the same basic technology, but their capabilities and uses make them seem only distantly related. Carrier-based airplanes are a specially modified type of land plane designed for takeoff from and landing aboard naval aircraft-carrier. Carrier airplanes have a strengthened structure, including their landing gear, to handle the stresses of catapult-assisted takeoff, in which the craft is launched by a steam-driven catapult; and arrested landings, made by using a hook attached to the underside of the aircraft's tail to catch one of four wires strung across the flight deck of the carrier.
