´Sticks and Stones´

What's all that blogging about? These things are everywhere and everybody seems to have one! I thought the best way to find out was to just create one and take a personal testdrive. This blog will be about the way people work and interact with their environment and the way ´tecnology´ influences our lives daily. I also want to use this place to link to other interessting places, share photo´s and have fun!


The first pieces of tecnology were of course quite basic.
Our ancestorsters started to use sticks and stones to get what they wanted in a more efficient way. Since that moment on, mankind has been fascinatedated by what ´sticks and stones´can do for us. We have used our creativity to explore new, different and more efficient ways of getting all sorts of things done. Mankind has come a long way since the first sticks and stones and the speed at which things develop around us seems to constantly take up pace. And we are only just getting started...sky is the limit, or is it?;-)!

The introduction of for example electricity and (steam) machines in the late 1800´s have radically changed the way we currently live our lives in large parts all over the world. Who today could imagine a world without plains, fridges or tv´s?
A worldwide network which allows the user to pick up a ´modern stick´and talk to somebody at the other side of the planet, spacetravel, internet?! There are BILLIONS of ´things´ around us everyday and the fact is most of us couldn't/wouldn´t do without them. And thats not a strange nor a bad thing. All these new sticks and stones have made us live longer, easier and more pleasant in many ways.

They have smallened the world and created facilities for billions of people to live, meet and interact regardless of space or time. And thats a great thing!
