I am going to argue that it is the oldest productivity. The oldest productivity because it is the oldest in our book. It is a product of our entire society. We created it. The oldest because we have a memory of it being around for more than 200 years. It is the oldest because it is the oldest in the history of humanity.
I think it is because it is the oldest that, as a culture, we have been able to come up with such a complex way for managing time.
That’s a great way to start a discussion, doesn’t it? As I said, this is not meant to be a discussion of what is the oldest productivity, but it is meant to be a discussion of what is the oldest productivity in our society. As I said, we have a memory of it being around for more than 200 years, but it is only a very small part of our history.
But if you think about it, that’s pretty amazing. We used to be a pretty primitive society. We basically just had a clock, an hourglass, a calendar, a writing system, and a whole bunch of knowledge passed down from generation to generation. But not only were we able to create systems to manage our time, but we were able to come up with systems to manage our money too.
The clock was a very simple mechanism, an hourglass was much more complex, and a calendar was more complex still. We had a writing system that was far more complicated (and more specific) than we used to have (and a much more complex calendar as well.) But at the same time, we had an advanced society. We had advanced technology (which was basically a computer and the internet) and an advanced society. And that is just awesome.
Yeah, I think that is why I’ve been so happy to see so many more computer games come out in the last few years. I think it’s because there are so many different ways to play them and so many different ways to learn them. I think that is just awesome.
You’re probably thinking, “oh, that’s the same thing that I just described.” But actually, yes, I’m sure you are.
Technology advances are not the only thing that advances. Technology also advances in the ways that we have been able to learn to use it. Sure, we can still say we have a lot of the things we did in the past but that doesnt mean we know how to use them. Technology has developed so much in the last 20 years that we are now able to create new uses for old technology.
The most recent example is the ability to use the internet to accomplish things that would have been extremely difficult to accomplish without it. For example, the invention of the internet and social networking has allowed us to send and receive communications far more frequently than we could have back in the early ’90s. Thats also made it possible to do things that were so dangerous in the past that people have been confined to a wheelchair or even worse, suicide.
The internet lets us do things like post information on Facebook and Twitter as well as send it through email, but it also lets us send out instructions that could take hours, or even days to complete. Now that makes it nearly impossible to do anything remotely dangerous, but we are still here, and that’s part of the fun.
