destructive technology that I chose to talk about today are
- 00:03 - 00:06
plastics. I'll be going over plastics uses and properties.
- 00:07 - 00:10
It's history as well as the conclusion I have about
- 00:10 - 00:14
plastics uses and property issues.
- 00:14 - 00:17
Plastics have many uses and or something we use every
- 00:17 - 00:20
day. They're lightweight and can be made into many different
- 00:20 - 00:24
items. Plastics are also corrosion resistant, make them last for
- 00:24 - 00:25
a very long time without breaking down.
- 00:26 - 00:29
This is rupture technology has led to many different technologies
- 00:29 - 00:34
as well, such as food packaging, certain electronics and nylon
- 00:34 - 00:37
clothing. My one is a type of plastic that can
- 00:37 - 00:37
be woven into clothing.
- 00:39 - 00:41
Plastics are also used to manufacture car part as well
- 00:41 - 00:44
as certain sporting goods, even houses used in certain pipes
- 00:45 - 00:46
which are derived from plastics.
- 00:48 - 00:50
Here are some pictures of things that are made of
- 00:50 - 00:56
plastic. We have lego bricks, plastic bottles, PVC pipes and
- 00:56 - 01:01
nylon plastics history.
- 01:02 - 01:04
The first plastic was invented in the mid 17th century
- 01:05 - 01:09
by Alexander Parkes who created something called Parkour scene, which
- 01:09 - 01:10
is now known as celluloid.
- 01:11 - 01:14
The first synthetic mass produced plastic was invented by Leo
- 01:14 - 01:16
Baekeland. Created bakelite.
- 01:17 - 01:22
Nylon was first made in 1935 by Wallace characters And
- 01:22 - 01:25
in 1937, Harley Siren becomes mass produced.
- 01:26 - 01:27
We know this as styrofoam.
- 01:28 - 01:30
The list goes on into today, where plastics are used
- 01:31 - 01:32
in our cars and our electronics.
- 01:34 - 01:35
Here is a timeline of plastics.
- 01:36 - 01:37
In 1855.
- 01:37 - 01:42
Park assing invent was invented In 1907, Bakelite was synthesized
- 01:43 - 01:49
1935. Nylon was synthesized And in 1937 Poly Styrene becomes
- 01:49 - 01:49
mass produced.
- 01:54 - 01:57
And here's my conclusion, Classics change how we manufacture certain
- 01:58 - 02:01
products. A lot of newer, disruptive technologies utilized plastics.
- 02:03 - 02:04
We use products that are made from plastics every day,
- 02:05 - 02:07
including plastic bottles and certain food packaging.
- 02:08 - 02:10
There's almost no limit to what we can make using
- 02:10 - 02:14
plastics. But one notable downside is the fact that plastic
- 02:14 - 02:16
is a major contributor to pollution.
