Human, the Tool-Maker

A tool is something that people use to make a job easier or more efficient. One example of a tool is the hammer which can pound nails into wood. Tools are something that people have made for a long time and I find it extremely interesting when I read about the history of tools. Tools are intriguing to me because of their useful nature and remarkable durability.

Benjamin Franklin once said man is a “tool-making animal”, and in a way, I totally agree. Humans are different from animals in that they are able to reason and make technology. Technology and tools are very similar in that both make impossible things done and are able to make a job much easier. 

People are tool-makers because we have computers, microwaves, televisions, and electricity. We are able to use tools in such a way that makes our lives more comfortable and easier to bear. Tool-making is an essential and integral part of being a human.

Technology has given us airplanes and cars and will continue to give us new advancements as well. Technology is a remarkably interesting and cool thing to me because it is full of potential and innovation. Humans have always been tool-makers and will always be one.

You keep mistaking this site for a blogging site. It's not. Sites like WordPress are for that.

You listed this as a "story." But in reality, it's you being bored and making the assumption that what drops into your mind because of boredom is something that the world is anxious to learn.

But if everyone here had the same mindset there'd be a flood of this kind of thing.

So post things that are of interest to others, too. If you're bored, read a bit on the techniques of writing fiction and make your attempts at writing fiction fun to read, rather than being a synopsis at too high a level to be more than a report.

Writing is supposed to be fun for both reader and writer. They give you of their time, as a gift. That obligates you to make sure that time isn't wasted.

Well what I noticed not just with this one is a trend of drabble-dumping should be room for Narrative Journalism in the same breath as fandom works that emerged public domain. The aspect of the journal section on WritersCafe should have two parts longform narrative journalism; and two parts photo essay to prove things interesting.
