It uses materials like wood and iron/steel and scientific principles of lever and force to splitting wood. If we just observe, we would find hundreds of such basic products of technology that we use every day.

Knife, nail, hammer, etc are the products of technology and also a kind of technology in their own way. Man’s relationship with technology isn’t new and it has been going on since the advent of civilization. Primitive cave men, those lived millions of year ago, had innovated simple tools like a spear, wheel, bow-arrow, etc for hunt and other purposes.

Today, that basic technology has gone through ages of observation and technical developments, to giving birth to a whole new technological evolution. Automobiles, machinery, and household equipment are some examples of advancements made in the field of technology.

Technology has evolved through millions of years with the efforts of man. It has made modern living fast, safe and comfortable.
