History of Science and Technology
Over the course of approximately 2.5 million years, human engagements with nature—or matter that is not made by human beings—gradually have been supplemented and, to some degree, superseded by engagements with artifice. Nature has been replaced by artifice as the immediate world in which we all live and move and have our being (Mitcham, 1999).
Recently, human engagement with artifact has delivered nature into a bad condition: global warming, deforestration, energy lack, and many other problems. Can this condition be turn around, technology as an artifact to save the earth?
