2. As it is well-known, human technology in the
past century has evolved more than it has in the
past few thousand years, and most machines,
tools, etc have evolved accordingly.

3. Most of these technological advances concern
objects that we use quite frequently in our lives,
and take them for granted (e.g.: the car)

4. While other objects have evolved greatly and are
very widely used in scientific research
(e.g.: hazmat suit)

5. Another fine example of tools used in scientific
research is the microscope, the first of which
originates from the 18th century.

greatly during the anthropocene include:

both harm and benefit us depending
on how we use it
