Technology
Technology in the ancient world was and is truly amazing. Without the inventions that were created back then, we may or may not have access to all of the things that we have now. Things that we take for granted because we have lived with them most of or our entire lives. Things like heat, tires, light, ink, silk, and other clothing material, paper, time, paint, or even the printing press and glasses. All of these things were invented back then and just think about where we would be today without them. I’m sure someone would have thought to create some of these things later on in time but if they were created later, we may or may not have accomplished and learned all of the things that we learned and have knowledge of today. Just think of how far how knowledge in medicine has gone. What they knew then and what they knew now is truly amazing. I think that in these times, we can easily take advantage of what we have because we just expect to have them and that they are always just there laying around for our convenience. But without the great minds of then and now, we may not have what we think is disposable and unimportant that we have now. Without people like Thomas Edison, we would not have the invention of the light bulb, a motion picture camera or even the invention of the phonograph. And without these inventions, we would not be where we are today. The cameras that we use nowadays, music and most importantly light. And while they may have may a great hit back in those days, just think about how we celebrate over the littlest things that are practically useless or more like junk but if someone were to invent a life change or life altering invention how much praise they would get. They would get so much credit at bettering the human life.
