This
section illustrates machines that have shaped this reality, and the
technology that founded them.
Since humans first began using the most primitive stone tools,
machines have been important in our lives, designed by us, we use them
to change the world around us, extending the power that our own bodies
have. Machines have brought material and products that we use everyday,
they generate our power, and so we can be independent of nature,
generating heat and light where and when the environment does not. They
have even enabled us to travel to other stars, they have in short become
indispensable and ubiquitous of civilization. |
