Draw an analogy between the development of pottery making in Neolithic cultures and the development of a modern technology in contemporary culture

Question

Please provide the best answer for the statement.

Answer 1

Answer: The ideal response would include the following:
1. The transition from cultures based on hunting and fishing to cultures based on agriculture led to the increased use of pottery vessels. Ceramic vessels are fragile, so hunter-gatherers would not have found them practical for carrying food, but people living in the more permanent Neolithic settlements used them to carry and store water and to prepare and store certain types of food.
2. By around 3000 BCE, Egypt, the Middle East, and China had begun using potter’s wheels, which allowed artisans to produce uniformly shaped vessels in a very short time. Many consider these practices to be the first forms of manufacturing. The move toward manufacturing was encouraged by the usefulness of the vessels in an agrarian society, and improvements in the technology were fostered by that society’s greater prosperity.
3. The two-way relationship between broader changes in the culture and the artifacts the culture produced can be seen in the development of many modern technologies, including digital technologies, which facilitate global communication and cooperation and are at the same time rapidly improved through this communication and cooperation.
