technology IS -human- and being human IS technological.
there's no way around it, technology is intrinsically part of the essence of what makes us, humans.
yes, even more than sex, even more than our extreme phantastical 'heaven & hells' conjuring mind.

to understand, every animal and plants have their specific parts in their bodies to perform very specific functions, and they are suited to the environments, and their specific bodies define what they are. eg put a desert animal in arctic and you will immediately see it can't fit.

but humans, being at the very start extremely weak and 'NAKED' much more than any other animals, have always used TOOLS.
animals never needed tools of any kind (they are basically 'fixed' forms with tools embedded, forever, with very slowly mutations if need be), we started out with nothing whatsoever,
and it's because we are intrinsically ZERO that we constantly formed TOOLS, and our tools are immediately interchangeable, and we constantly adapt to whatever place and time, over and over, because we as inherently ZERO alters the ONES around us to be whatever that fit our visions.

face it, we ARE in this sense, unique, and to say it even better. yes, admit it, we are fucken FREAKS. we have always been FREAKS.
we are a part of Nature that is so outrageously different from the rest that the theory that we might be seeded by aliens is actually NOT that crazy.
we seem like beings that 'shouldn't' exist, and we sure as hell didn't need to 'be' here either with the rest of animals; we are NOT intrinsically NEEDED.
we ARE the freaks. we ARE in a sense, THE "aliens" to the eyes of every organisms here.

all the animalistic parts of us like survival and sex and eating are just that, animalistic parts, it's us, alright sure, but it's the possibility of extreme self-mutation and self-overcoming (the mind's logic too is great part of this) that defines the strange being that differentiates the rest of animals with "human".
animals don't really have that.
"human" is something else that's inherently transcendent from what it considers itself to be itself.
if that starts to sound spiritual, well i guess it is then.

we made stone and iron spears, swords, fires, chariots, ships, the list just goes on and on and it gets bigger.
we made the mistake that these TOOLS are separate from us. they're not. they ARE us; we wouldn't even manage to exist till this day without them. we are DEFINED by them, as ages progress.

and as we use them, it's also natural that we're also, in a sense
-used- by them.
and where exactly do the line between things we hold and and ourselves even start, or, disappear? is there any division at all?

take whatever you will from all this how you will...

personally, my favorite technology is probably the washing machine.
i could get by just fine peeing and pooping outside (winter's might be rough for those occasional 20 minute dumps that can happen when you're sick) and i have a nearby body of water to at least get the sweat off of me, but i HATE wearing clothes that are too dirty
