Tools have always been with us right from the moment of our evolution as a species. Technology includes how we have designed ourselves around the particular tools that exist and it allows us to gain resources, refine our lives, enhance our existence, and advance as a society. But what if we were untotitary to invent tools? How would one and everyone else exist if not for these utensils and gadgets that today, can be deemed indispensable? 


Lack of tools would slow down progress and development among human beings to a great extent. Quite a number of aspects of contemporary.ONE can only surmise that most of the comforts of today would not be available if people have not continuously build up tools over millennia. If such simple mechanical tools are not utilized then we stand to be stuck with simple human strength and agility in designing and carrying out hunting, building shelter, searching for water and foods and meeting fundamental needs. These activities would become very tiresome and time consuming once you are forced to operate without the leverage afforded by tools. The time and effort that the population would need to devote to finding their food and residing their lives would not allow enough time for education, trade, commerce, transport and communication, research and technology, and the fine arts. Existence would be a bare survival existence.




Some of the most useful extension of human capability inventions ever that might have never existed are saws, drills, sanders, grinders, wrenches and nail guns. Such best power tools enhance force, complete construction and woodworking operations with higher efficiency and provide better uniformity and precision. Most contemporary construction infrastructural projects that in one way or another requires electricity for the machines, metals for construction, transport and architecture would not be possible without power tools. For instance, there are no elaborate roads, bridges, buildings and international business networks and structures without power drills, saws and cranes. This mere advancement of power tools is the cumulative process that is owed by modern civilization itself.


Besides more tangible consequences, lack of tools would also practically halt the process of gaining knowledge, at least from experience. Most of the scientific equipment such as microscopes and telescopes are equipment that enriched human knowledge. It is an abstractions by means of such tools as compass, protractors, and calculators to develop hypothesis about physical facts, to perform experiments on their own in terms of physics, engineering, or mathematics. B & C Eras resources also allowed the recording of information and broad distribution of knowledge through other means; writing and printing presses, computers and the world wide web. The writing also continues, and the loss of tools would be devastating, not only to philosophy and mathematics but also all of the sciences.



In conclusion, tools and technologies resulting from our elementary tool usage ability are instrumental in virtually all aspects of the contemporary human experience. Considering their numbers, losing the ability to invent tools would have put society back thousand of years from the technological and knowledge advances that had accumulated over the millennia. Rather than having the ability to manage the society in a better way using reason, science and technology, it would reduce to instincts, custom and superstition. Life is nasty, brutish and short or can be so if we do not make use of the kind of tools highlighted in this paper. And as much as people like to intellectualize the notion of living off the land with nothing but a pick and a shovel, well, it simply is not going to happen.
