14. • So technology might be
considered the articulation
of a craft. The word is also
used to describe the extent
to which a society can
manipulate
its
environment.
16. • But when anthropologists
use the word “technology,”
they go all the way back to
the controlled use of fire
(from about 500,000 – 1
million years ago), the
invention of the wheel (c.
4000 BCE), and beyond.
18. • The earliest technological
divisions
are
from
mankind’s early history,
divided into the Stone Age,
the Bronze Age, and the
Iron Age depending on the
primary tool and weaponmaking material at the
time.
19. • Each building material
is superior to the one
before it, but more
difficult
to
develop
requisite metallurgical
techniques. The Iron
Age began in about
1400 BCE.

21. Origins
• 4chan originated out of a 15 year
old moot's New York City residence on
September 29th, 2003 when he was
interested in obtaining a 4chan.net
email address as 2chan began to rise
in popularity with Western audiences.
At the urging of his friends, on October
1st, 2003 a basic imageboard system
was set up and the 4chan we know
and love was born.
22. While not the first Englishlanguage imageboard, it
was certainly the first one
with any real movement,
literally exploding with
traffic overnight from
Something Awful, with
many visitors coming from
ADTRW, the anime board,
and FYAD, the troll forum,
in particular.
