Most new technologies come from a basic need, in example have you ever said " There has to be a better/ easier way to do this ?" Our need to simplify, and make easier those tasks we do daily leads to the development of new technologies.

All technologies were new at some time and all of them made life for their creators and those they shared them with easier. But then later someone thought of an even better way to accomplish the same thing and fulfill that need. This is the process of technological evolution and progress.

Our earliest human ancestors about 200,000 years ago inherited their technologies from their prehuman ancestors. They continued using pretty much the same technologies until the end of the last ice age about 12,000 years ago, when climate change permitted the development of agricultural technologies and early civilization and the new technologies what went with that. Gradually technologies progressed through the late stone age, the copper age, the bronze age, and the iron age. Then about 1800 the industrial age began with an explosion in technological development far beyond that of anything before. Then about 1900 the electronics age began, then computers were developed in the 1940s and since then technological development jumped by a factor of thousands of times faster than even in the industrial age!
