Paleontology has changed throughout the years as technology has continued to advance. Technology in the past was less advanced. Technology has made paleontology easier by adjusting old technologies, and making them into new ones. Future technology will have added adjustments to make paleontology simpler. The digital world has become popular because the adjustments to new technology has made paleontology simpler.
Daily tasks in the past used to be done by hand, or with far less technology than what we use now, because technology was less advanced. Paleontologists used limited technology to help with the process of finding dinosaur fossils. They used to use brushes, chisels, and shovels to dig dinosaur bones up. When a bone was found on the surface of the ground, paleontologists brushed, chiseled, and shoveled the dinosaur bones up. Once the bones were dug up, the bones would be drawn into a journal in their exact positions. Once the bones got to the museum, the curators and all the people that helped place the bones, used the journal to place the fossils in the correct spot. The journal was one of the most important technologies during this time, because it being created to be used to keep track of information, was an amazing invention that …show more content…
Paleontologists can now use technology such as, dynamite, machinery and shovels to help dig fossils up because they are technology easily accessible. When dinosaur bones are found on the surface, paleontologists use shovels and brushes to uncover the bones. Sometimes, dynamite is used to help uncover the bones. When they are uncovered enough, occasionally, they use big machinery to help pull the bones up, and finish uncovering them. Paleontologists can now use a GPS system to keep track of where all the bones are placed. The GPS is an important piece of technology for paleontologists, because it is an easy way to make sure the bones original site is
