Building a robot that has legs and walks around is a very expensive proposition. Mother Nature has created many wonderful things, but one thing we do have that nature doesn't is the wheel, a continuous rotating joint, and tracks, so we need to make use of inventions to make things simpler.
Technology didn't just go, clunk. It was this early disease, starting with a plow, I guess, or something like that, the first tool that made it so you could do more things. The first domesticated animal, or the first wheel.
The greatest inventors are unknown to us. Someone invented the wheel - but who?
I think design means, for me, almost when man, back in time, decided to do something conscious. You know... to shape something and make something different from just using things that were lying around. So whoever designed the wheel were onto a good thing.
Historically speaking, the presence of wheels in Unix has never precluded their reinvention.
When man wanted to make a machine that would walk he created the wheel, which does not resemble a leg.
Think about technological float: it took centuries for the wheel to gain universal acceptance. Now any microchip device can be in use around the world in weeks.
Maybe my caveman ancestors invented the wheel or something. I'm not sure.
I love technology. Matches, to light a fire, is really high tech. The wheel is really one of the great inventions of all time. Other than that, I am an ignoramus about technology.
His dad said even the cavemen had geniuses among them. Somebody had thought up the wheel.
