A tool, broadly defined, is an entity that interfaces between two or more domains; that facilitates more effective action of one domain upon the other. Basic tools are simple machines. For example, a crowbar simply functions as a lever. The further out from the pivot point, the more force is transmitted along the lever. A hammer typically interfaces between the operator's hand and the nail the operator wishes to strike. Tools are the most important items that the ancient humans used to climb to the top of the food chain; by inventing tools, they were able to accomplish tasks that their bodies could not, such as using a spear or bow and arrow to kill prey, since their teeth were not sharp enough to pierce many animals' skins. A telephone is a communication tool that interfaces between two people engaged in conversation at one level. And between each user and the communication network at another. It is in the domain of media and communications technology that a counter-intuitive aspect of our relationships with our tools first began to gain popular recognition. Marshall McLuhan famously said "We shape our tools. And then our tools shape us." McLuhan was referring to the fact that our social practices co-evolve with our use of new tools and the refinements we make to existing tools. Tools that have evolved for use in particular domains can be given different assignations. For example, tools designed for domestic use are often called utensils. Observation has confirmed that that multiple species can use tools, including monkeys, apes, several birds, and sea otters. Philosophers originally thought that only humans had the ability to make tools, until zoologists observed birds and monkeys making tools. Now humans' unique relationship to tools is considered to be that we are the only species that uses tools to make other tools. Anthropologists believe that the use of tools was an important step in the evolution of mankind. Humans evolved an opposable thumb — useful in holding tools — and increased dramatically in intelligence, which aided in the use of tools. Carpentry tools recovered from the wreck of a 16th century sailing ship, the Mary Rose.From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License I want to wire my PS3 to my router, what tools/equipment do I need? Q. My router doesn't have enough range to reach my PS3 so I want to wire it. It is a distance of maybe 300 ft. I will drill through my floor, thread it through my basement and come up next to my PS3. What specific type of cable do I need? What kind of crimping tool? What type of plastic tips will I need? etc. Thanks Asked by unknown - Mon Nov 30 23:26:00 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. the top two answers sum it up. furthur i would say you should move the location of your router to be closer to where you want the ps3 to be. Also unless you know how to build cables already, you probably shouldnt try, unless you have somebody with some experience. i would just go wireless. it would save you a world of trouble. my dad bought something to extend the reach of his wireless network, some sort of a bridge or something, you might try that if you go the wireless direction with it all.

Q. when will christians be able to prove that their god is real? Asked by Rev. wing wang woo woo - Wed Jan 6 22:16:28 2010 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. NEVER it is just like trying to claim a bottle is full of vacuum!!! Academia states that in the absence of proof of the existence of something it must be deemed not to exist until verifiable proof is found - thus god is held not to exist pending some sort of verifiable evidence. There is not one single mention of Jesus in the entire Roman record - that is right - not one!!! At the same time as he was supposed to have been around there were a number of Jews claiming to be the messiah - all of whom are well recorded!! There is not a single contemporary record from any source and even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!! He was supposed to have been a huge problem… [cont.] Answered by Sage - Thu Jan 7 02:34:07 2010 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Tools and Equipment"
