Primitive tools and technology!

TO BE CONTINUED... I'm definitely a product of this technological era. I carry my cell phone around with me wherever I go. I'm constantly getting things done on my computer. 

Despite this attachment I have to 21st Century technologies, I have a slight fettish with primitive tools and tech. There's something about thinking what our early ancestors' thought processes were when they developed the arrowhead to hunt or thought to dig a deep hole in the ground, build a rock wall around it, and send a pail down to retrieve water. Humans are driven by necessity, which introduces innovation. It's fascinating to me!
