Most divers willfully ignore the fact that even their peaceful uses are destructive. Enough divers accidentally kicking a coral head will eventually damage it beyond repair, for example. Yet few if any divers would favor a ban on the tools that allow them to go underwater. The general manager of the affiliated company saw a spreadsheet as the solution to every problem. I inevitably think about whether I can drive my jeep to particular destinations.
Divers ponder whether a given underwater area is accessible by scuba.
Teller looked for remote applications for the weapon he invented. All of these are examples of the ways in which we are affected by the tools we create. A tool is an instrumentality for the accomplishment of a particular goal. Scuba gear permits me to break the bounds of gravity while visiting places otherwise inaccessible to me. If cars were considered emergency vehicles, to be kept parked in the driveway against the possibility of a disaster requiring evacuation, we would naturally long to drive them.
