The first Technological Revolution

This was a very interesting reading. If all that Peter Drucker is saying is true everything could have evolved in our world today as the irrigation civilization being the starting point. I really agree with what he says that technology needs to serve humans ends. I think that technology shouldn't only help aid us to be lazy but to help us bring that evolution to the next generation in a way that serves us as humans, positively, not just for fun.

This piece was so interesting how he talks about how the irrigation civilization sparked the start of the first government, and even seeing people as a citizen not in tribes and not individuals. That is huge, because if this never happened then we couldn't have moved on to such a democratic way of life at all.
His essay was also eye opening that because of the abundence of water and wealth there became theieves and dishonest people thus the creation of an army and the first war horse.

Then it seemed to just trickle down to creating social classes for purpose of work, then artistry such as poets and pottery makers, and then professionals. Interesting that the flow of such creations seems so obvious but I never saw it that way before.
Even the trading of goods from the surplus helped to create an economic system.
I see what he meant by saying that he suggests the irrigation civilization was "modern", the creation of all these different entities is the basis for our everyday life so I would definelty say they were very modern.
I agree with his opinion that one must not get ahead of themselves as far as technology goes. And that the innovations should be directly related as technology is presented. Unnecesary inventions that make us lazy or do not still challenge us to grow socially.

This was a great read it got me thinking about how difficult it would have been to create such a world we live in now, back then they knew nothing and still came up with such complex ideas. And although as Mr Drucker says it wasn't without imperfection, it gave us a base to grow and improve upon. I guess we could learn a lot from this type of society that created inventions to improve the soical and political way of life, not only to make lives easier and without any real responsibility or hard work.
