  1. Define evolve. I dont believe anything like that really has evolved, just we adapted it to our needs. Technology doesnt evolve, just our ability to to build newer, better things has improved.


  2. horse and buggy > space shuttle

    dial change TV + UHF/VHF> remote control + cable TV

    8 track > 6 CD / 6 speaker

    family farming > corporate farming

    pony express > morse code > instant messaging internationally

    BTW, we did not evolve from monkeys, we both evolved from the same ancestor.

  3. man didn't come from monkey, don't put that in your essay, humans share a last common ancestor and that's it.

    Our minds are always evolving, as is our cells we came from a single cell etc...

  4. Women - to - Bytches.....??

  5. tapes to dvds

    cassettes to mp3

  7. Man to monkey? That's a good one. Totally agree. Not the other way round though.

  8. Technology: modes of transportation, health care.

    Currency: from bartering and trading cows to actual currency (the dollar)

    Theories: art, mathematics, music, science

  9. wired phones to cell phones

    swords and spears to guns

  12. not music or tv they have gone backwards.

  13. man hasn't changed much for tens of  thousands years  physically - we still look mostly the same apart from not being as healthy due to bad diet - lack of exercise etc but our minds have evolved  - there are more inventions and better understanding of science etc - I'm 50 now but when i was a teenager there were no known computers or mobile phones even colour TV was was a breakthrough-there is more technology in your wristwatch now than we had in our major institutions- we no longer just look at the stars - we actively engage in trying to reach for them - medical breakthroughs have saved people who 50 years ago would have died.everything that could not be explained was put down to god and free thinking was actively discouraged on pain of death.

    it seems our minds have evolved to compensate for our lack of physical ability.

    alas our instinct to wage war seems as strong as ever.
