Technology

Once upton a time man had sticks and rocks as tools but as time passed these tools began to fashion new tools. A new age of technology was arising and has ceased to slow down or stop. We live in a generation where technology has vastly changed the environment we live in and the structure of how we live. We no longer live in a hunter and gatherer society. We do not have to use up much of our own energy to prepare a meal. Hunter and gatherers had to search, find and kill their prey to cook. Because of technology we simply go to the local grocery store and pick up some steak, chicket breasts or beef. The most energy we might expend is by shaking some spices onto the meat for flavor.
Domestication is a direct result of technology. Technological advancements and domestication have created more sources of food for us to eat but at the same time they remove some natural nutrients as well. If the trend of domesticating our plants and animals for food continues, I wonder if the nutrients they provide will continue to nurish our bodies in the same way?
