Over the years that the humans have walked upon the earth there have been countless technological innovations, some dating back to the Stone Age. Although the ancient world didn't have all the resources that we have today, the people of those times did magnificent things that paved the road for is today; from the stone tools made in Paleolithic and Mesolithic times to the wheel in 3000 BC, all the way to the pyramids in 2560 BC. These inventions helped make it possible for us to build smartphones, remote controls, and skyscrapers.
Throughout the Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods humans used stone tools. These stone tools are the oldest technology that has evidence humans would use flakes of rocks, usually flint, to make different tools. For example, The oldwan choppers were designed to help break things down. These stone tools can be compared to smartphones, the most useful tool today. While the humans of the past had a different shape designed for different tasks, today we have "an app for that." Smartphones have different apps designed for each task; likewise there are different …show more content…
Although it is believed that the first wheels were meant for pttery in Mesopotamia, they ended up being an invention that changed the way humans traveled. The remote is a grat innovation to society. The remote, like the wheel, changed the lives of humans. Before the wheel, people would have to walk everywhere. In the same way the remote made it so we didn't have to get up to change the channel on the television. The remote made life easier for people, as did the wheel. These two inventions were made to help people in their everyday lifes, but actually helped to make people lazier. The wheel made it so people didn't have to walk and the remote made it so people didn't have to get up, leaving people able to sit most of the time. Obviously, these technological breakthroughs had both a positive and negative
