In ancient times, man thought his way of life as difficult, therefore, he developed tools made from stones which were very useful in his hunting and gathering campaign. As time went by, man began to feel that the use of stone tools has made him redundant and made life difficult for him, so he devised tools from iron and later bronze. But man was never satisfied with any innovation, therefore through the course of history innovations and inventions continue to show up. Man's quest to do things easier drives his passion for innovation, therefore improvements were made in in ever aspect of his life. In farming, he made work easier through the use of animals as beasts of burden.
Then to the industrial revolution, ma applied sophisticated techniques in solving so many problems thereby making work a lot easier and also increasing the speed and efficiency of work. The world witnessed an outburst of creative inventions during the industrial revolution. The problems that require solutions were enormous, therefore machines were crafted to effect solutions.
Most of the inventions of those days were painstaking masterpieces crafted by ingenious minds and from careful observation of the machines of today, we conclude that only a few inventions relative to that of the industrial revolution has been crafted as only modifications were made to most of the machines invented during the industrial revolution. The modifications made were just for the purpose of improving efficiency, speed and also making the work done easier.
Technology as a term was born in the twentieth century but the phenomenon dates back to the very beginning of man's existence. People will care to agree that every improvement, innovation and invention at any point in history seems fascinating and as such regarded as cutting-edge technology. But technology improves everyday as the technology that was regarded as cutting-edge today would in fact be outdated in matter of months. Researchers are helping to improve technology in the best possible way through modifications and inventions. Though technology also presents it deadly use which is in weapons creation, it is a very good force that drives man to achieve his goals with ease.
