 Tools are any objects other than the parts of our own bodies that we use to help us do our work. Technology is nothing more than the use of tools. We tend to think of technology as a human invention, but the reverse is closer to the truth. Stone tools show that our ape-like ancestors were already putting technology to use. Experts believe that using tools may have helped these creatures develop into human beings; in a tool-using society, manual skill and intelligence are more important than brute strength.
 Most of the tools we have invented have aided our bodies rather than our minds. These tools help us lift and move and cut and shape. Only quite recently, for the most part, have we developed tools to aid our minds as well.
 The tools of communication, from pencil and paper to television, are designed to serve our minds. These devices transmit information or preserve it, but they do not change it in any way. Although these tools are important, our present interest lies with machines that classify and change information rather than merely transmitting it or preserving it. The machines that do this are the computers and the calculators.
