The alphabet is actually considered technology. People probably were excited to learn about this when it was first invented. The alphabet must have taken a while to understand when it became a new technology. With the different sounds the letters make, the alphabet must have been a very difficult thing to understand. There is a lot more technology today, and it seems to be a lot easier but it makes us more lazy. Due to the alphabet, life has become a lot easier.
Books are also considered technology. People use to tell the stories aloud, and they were just passed on from person to person. Reading and writing have had many changes. Some changes in books are divisions, changes in page layout, changes in typography, organization, and reference works. There have been so many advancements in technology, that it is easy to see how technology effects our lives. Many of us do not even use pen's and paper to write.
We talk, write, play, and many other things on computers. Our cell phones let us talk to whoever whenever and they act as our alarm clocks, calenders, camera's, and many other things. The old technology of pen and paper has been replaced with the new. But the old form is still technology. It is the basis of all technology we have today.
