TOOLS & technology

TECHNOLOGY is the application of tools to work or human effort. While this may seem obvious to most, the exact understanding of such is often lacking,even among those who consider themselves educated,but,believe me, the farmer, the laborer, the peasant, etc. all know what I am talking about from their experience(s) and their life style, as difficult as such usually is, often due to government interference in their trying to survive. Man is the only creature to design,create, perfect, and develop tools as instruments to do work, decrease human effort and labor and to make such more efficient in an effort to satisfy all human needs and wants or wishes. That the so-called rudiments of too-use are found according to the latest research among apes, birds, and other creatures in the natural world aside from man, is not a case for tracing such to pre-human origins as these creatures, these animals,etc. simply make use of 'tools of opportunity'-that is, do not retain or develop the 'acquired' skill or make further tools for other applications, as far as is known. They simply do not 'create or design' tools for further need satisfaction.
