Technical activity automatically eliminates every nontechnical activity or transforms it into technical activity. This does not mean, however, that there is any conscious effort or directive will. Jacques Ellul

It's easy to see from these two pieces that the advancements within writing, books, and even writing utensil's have been over looked and not considered to be great advancements within technology. When in fact they were very needed advancements because they improved communication between long distances and let people in the future know of what people within the past thought and went through during their lives. Without the advancements of technology in this area we would not know much about our past, and history would almost certainly be non-existent. The development of the book must be viewed as technology because the ideas of past people were written down and further enhanced by more modern day readers therefore improving technology. Even alphabetization is an advancement within technology do to the speed and efficiency that has developed in finding the things that you want to read about more quickly. With these technologies and the improving of them over years the human life has became easier and much more effective.
