The Stone Age - the first steps in the development of tools
Our journey through the history of tools begins in the Stone Age, when people first started using stones as tools. This era represented a great step forward in human development, as stone tools made it easier to hunt, gather food, and build shelters.
The first stone tools were simple, such as sharp stone knives and axes. However, as the stone processing techniques developed over time, the tools became more and more sophisticated and specialized. People learned how to make arrows, baskets and even primitive types of agricultural tools.
The Metal Age - a revolution in the development of tools
Continuing our journey, we come to the Metal Age, the period in which people began to use metallic materials to make tools. This era brought a revolution in the development of tools, as metal tools were stronger, more durable and more precise than those made of stone.
The very evolution and development of human consciousness led to the knowledge that other materials can also be useful to man in making tools and tools, which greatly contributed to the very survival of man.
Thus, by discovering various ores and irons, man advances in the creation of new tools. All this was the basis for making weapons that man used for hunting and to fight with his enemies, but at the same time for useful things in other activities. The knowledge that the soil can be cultivated with various materials, that food can be cut and sorted and not just cut into pieces, that some things do not have to be disassembled into parts but can be pressed and thus preserved, man came up with new ideas and created new tools.
For a long time, man exclusively used his strength to use tools, but over time he came up with ideas on how to make things easier and how to use some objects as levers and wedges, so by combining the tools and tools that he had then, new tools are created.
Later, the emergence of mechanization made great use of ideas that people used throughout history.
In the metal age, the first mines and metal processing techniques were developed. People started making tools from copper, later from bronze, and then from iron. Metal tools allowed people to work the land, make weapons and building tools. This was a key factor in the development of agriculture, crafts and construction.
Digital age - tools for the modern age
Prehistory and the development of tools in that period were an important assumption in the later period of history for the development of mechanization and later even for the industrial revolution.
Today we are witnessing a digital revolution that has changed the way we use tools. The digital age brought computers, software and other digital technologies that transformed our world. Tools such as smartphones, laptops and tablets have become an indispensable part of our daily lives.
Productivity software allows us to organize our time and tasks, while various creative tools facilitate design, photography and video production. The digital age also enabled virtual communication and collaboration, making tools global and accessible to everyone.
