  3. The Stone Age(1,000,000-3,000 B.C.) • Tools were made of stone and sticks. People began to utilize fire. Increased productivity of the population led to more people being able to live in a given area. Needles were made from bone. Axes were made from rocks attached to sticks.

The steam engine play a key role in modern manufacturing methods. Hand weavers are obsolete due to weaving machines. Axes are mostly used by firefighters and lumberjacks.

  9. The Information Age(Present) • Automatic machines are a major part of our society. Computers process information almost instantly. Cars provide speedy, durable transportation. Contractors, lumberjacks and firefighters use axes to cut wood for easy access and transport.
