Technology is the whole means to provide the goods necessary for the survival and comfort of human life.
The use of technology by humans begins with the conversion of natural resources into simple tools. The prehistoric discovery of the ability to control fire has increased the availability of food sources, while wheel creation has helped humans in the streets and controlling their environment. Recent technological developments, including printing presses, telephones, and the Internet, have narrowed down the physical barriers to communication and allowed humans to interact freely on a global scale. However, not all technologies are used for peaceful purposes; the development of even greater destructive weapons has been going on throughout history, from batons to nuclear weapons.
