It has impacted the way we work, the way we live, the way we eat, and the way we think. Most inventions are made up out of necessity and others are spawned from an invention either to make it better or to help adapt to it. For whatever reason something is created it has an impact on society. Whether the impact is only on a select few people who can afford the invention, or on a huge mass of people for which the idea was created. Tools have affected society in more ways than we could ever imagine.
Lets take a look at why tools are invented.
Lets start off in the Stone Age when the axe, the spear and all of those primitive tools were invented. They helped the Neanderthal to cut down trees and to kill animals that were previously impossible to kill or killed with great effort. We were now able to create a surplus of food in an extremely hostile environment. We began to realize that a simple tool could enhance our abilities to a countless extent. These primitive utensils were just the first of many that would be created throughout the history of mankind.
