The human species' use of technology began with the conversion of natural resources into simple tools. The prehistorical discovery of the ability to control fire increased the available sources of food and the [[invention]] of the wheel helped humans in travelling in and controlling their environment. Recent technological developments, including the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printing_press printing press], the telephone, and the [[Internet]], have lessened [[physical]] barriers to [[communication]] and allowed humans to interact freely on a global scale. However, not all technology has been used for [[peace]]ful [[purpose]]s; the development of weapons of ever-increasing destructive [[power]] has progressed throughout history, from clubs to nuclear weapons.

Technology has affected [[society]] and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies, technology has helped develop more advanced economies (including today's global economy) and has allowed the rise of a leisure class. Many technological processes produce unwanted by-products, known as pollution, and deplete natural resources, to the detriment of the [[Earth]] and its environment. Various implementations of technology influence the [[values]] of a [[society]] and new technology often raises new [[ethical]] questions. Examples include the rise of the notion of efficiency in terms of human productivity, a term originally applied only to machines, and the challenge of traditional norms.
