Define technology (you can use an outside dictionary). Name one type of tool that Native Americans used. Would you consider this to be technology? Why or why not?
Technology is a machine developed from the application of scientific knowledge. When scientists work on expirements and methods to make a process easier using scientific techniques, it results in making a technology which makes things easier to use. Today we use technology for everthing in our lives. We get up with the help of an alarm and go to bed after using our phone, working on the laptop or with the air conditioning. All this is the use of technology. Technology has helped use to move around continents, study about different forms of virus and bacteria and live a better life as compared to other species.
The native Americans used bow and arrow as a tool to hunt animals. They figued out that running behind them using daggers and stones etc. would reult in the prey running away. Therefore to catch an animal from a distance so that it does not run away, they made a tool like a bow and arrow which made the process easier. That is why it can be considered a tool and a good one because it helped to better their hunting process.
