SOST Essay

As the years go by our technology has changed overtime. In this essay I will talk about the technology used by the Ancient Egyptians, Ancient Romans, and the cavemans. These technological advances includes the Ancient Egyptian Mathematics,  Hieroglyphics, Aqueducts, and stone tools. These examples will show you how technology changed overtime.

Technology in the Stone Age period includes the invention of the stone tools. This is important because it helped the caveman's hunt for food, gather resources, and self defense from predators. The caveman’s developed stone toolmaking, about 2.6 million years ago in the Early Stone Age. The tools were made by hammerstones, stone cores, and sharp stone flakes. The oldest stone tools ever discovered was in Gona in Ethiopia. This means that the invention of stone tools was an important piece of technology that was made by the cavemans that we still use today. As the years go by our knowledge of making tools grew and we started to use metal as an alternative for stone.

Technology in the Ancient Egypt period includes the invention of mathematics, and hieroglyphics. The use of mathematics is important because, we learned how to use it to improve our skills in building structures and include it in our daily life. We also learned a new form of writing called Hieroglyphics. Hieroglyphics was a step up from the cave art because it is more difficult to understand , it is also used to design walls on temples, and tombs. Ancient Egyptian mathematics was invented about 3000 to 300 BC from the Old Kingdom of Egypt until the beginning Hellenestic Egypt, this mathematics was used to build the pyramids in Giza. Hieroglyphics was invented about 3300 to 3200  BC. This means that mathematics and hieroglyphics was an important piece of technology that was made by the Ancient Egyptians that we still use today. 

Another important piece of technology is the invention of the aqueducts that was invented in the Ancient Rome period. The invention of the aqueducts was important because it helped the Romans transport water from the mountains to the city. The first aqueduct that was built is Aqua Appia in 312 BC who was built by Appius Claudius Caecus. The aqueduct has a length of 16 kilometers. This means that the invention of the aqueduct is an important piece of technology that helped us transport water in different places that we still use today as modern day plumbing.

Because of these inventions our technology has changed overtime. Firstly The Ancient Egyptians helps us develop our language and our form of writing, Secondly the Romans helped us improved our knowledge in transporting water from different places, and Lastly the cavemans helped us use tools to make our everyday life much more easier. Because of these inventions our technology changed overtime and change how we use technology now.

I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to save me

This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy

I need somebody to heal

Somebody to know

Somebody to have

Somebody to hold

It's easy to say

But it's never the same

I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain

Now the day bleeds

Into nightfall

And you're not here

To get me through it all

I let my guard down

And then you pulled the rug

I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to turn to

This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you

Now, I need somebody to know

Somebody to heal

Somebody to have

Just to know how it feels

It's easy to say but it's never the same

I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape

Now the day bleeds

Into nightfall

And you're not here

To get me through it all

I let my guard down

And then you pulled the rug

I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes

I fall into your arms

I'll be safe in your sound 'til I come back around

For now the day bleeds

Into nightfall

And you're not here

To get me through it all

I let my guard down

And then you pulled the rug

I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

But now the day bleeds

Into nightfall

And you're not here

To get me through it all

I let my guard down

SEEL Paragraph
As technology becomes more advanced the human population increases. We can see in the bar graph that the human population increased because of technology. 400,000 years ago stone tools and primitive weapons were invented, in order to hunt food and to protect ourselves from predators we developed stone tools and weapons. Because of the tools and weapons we used, we protected ourselves from predators giving us a chance to live longer, populate and climb up the food chain.
