About 2.5 million years ago, early man created the first stone tools. Tools enabled man to cut wood and build shelter, hunt larger animals, make art, invent medicine, even go to war.

Ignorant to the impact his tools had on the world, man was on his way to become a technological being. We realized from a very early time that technology empowered us to control our future, positively as well as negatively, depending on who was holding the axe. But as we evolved, technology became more than just a tool to control the future. Technology today is, more than anything else, convenience. And it’s this convenience that we’ve been after all along. It took us a few ice ages, but we’re finally here. Or are we?
