The Invention of Wheel Another great move towards modern technology was the invention of the wheel by some unknown prehistoric genius.
Metal Weapons Man had efficient metal weapons and was able to hunt large animals for food. Gradually, he learned to capture and tame some of the creatures, so that hе could keep his food nearby until it was needed.
Cultivating Land Man also discovered how to plant crops, gathering seed from wild pants, which he knew to be useful. Once farming was established, it did not take man long to make special tools for breaking up the ground, and later he began to use the help of domestic animals in pulling his primitive plough.
Writing Another important invention which has contributed greatly to our modern knowledge was writing. At first, writing was a special form of drawing, and was usually very simple. But gradually these primitive drawings turned into letters.
The invention of printing No less important was the invention of printing, giving many men an opportunity to read and to own books which before had been available to only the wealthy few.

Machinery The nineteenth century was the age of the machine, when man realized that many hard tasks could be done more easily and cheaply by machinery.

Progress in Technology The second half of the twentieth century was characterized by the inventions of television, computers, spacecraft, genetic engineering and many others.
