What did the Ancient Greeks use for tools?

Answer 1

Making Tools

Knowledge

If we were to only use wood,leather, stone, and metal tools, we would be much more limited in what we could do. We could no longer travel long distances in short amounts of time because we wouldn't have the materials nessesary to build the vehicles we need to travel long distances like airplanes and cars.

We would also no longer be able to communicate as well as we do now because there would be no phone lines, and the mail would take much longer to reach its destination then it does today. Having no way of communicating well over long disatnces and no quick way of traveling these distances.

Abacus: For both the laborer and the entrepreneur the abacus allowed for larger and more accurate transactions of goods and money. The impact the abacus had on the Greek economy was that now the government could more easily keep track of tax money and debts. In modern times we no longer use the abacus as way to making calculations. Today we use calculators which are similar to an abacus because they are used to make quick calculations instead of having to figure it out in your head.

Spindle: The spindal made it very easy to turn raw wool into string, which in turn allowed for quicker manufacturing of clothing. Because of the easy use of the spindal not as many workerss were need to turn out a certain amount of wool. This also meant that they could make a lot more wool. Of course, this meant more money was flowing which can only make an economy stonger. Today the spindal has also been fazed out by a nother invention that does the same work just faster. Today machines are responsible for spining wool, people no longer take part.

Chariot: The chariot was the greek's version of the car. It allowed an entrepreneur to travel quickly to a meeting or to any other event. Chariots were often expensive making it hard for the common laborer to afford one. For the economy of Greece, the chariot got money flowing as a form of entertainment and travel. The chariot modern day predisesor, the car, in another form of intertainment and transportation, it just gets the job done faster then the chariot could ever have.

Wax Scratcher: The wax scratcher was the greek's equivilent to a pen. Students in classes would use this tool to write in wax. This tool did not affect the economy very much directly. The were only used in schools making there sales not very high. But the wax scratcher did help educate the young boys on many things including the economy. In todays society we no longer have use for the wax scratcher, and more and more we are becoming less dependent on writing tools ingenral with the advances we are making in computers.

Oil Lamp: The oil lamp would have been very important in Greek society. It would allow work to get done in the evening and at night. Insteed of going to bed the entrepeneur could stay up and do work by lamp light. The oil lamp would make it so that the day didn't end when the sun went down. Now days we no longer use oil as a source of light because of our discovery of electrisity. Oil lamps are still used, but only for show, and not by the genral public.

Most regular food was served in smaller pieces and the novelty dishes such as a stuffed pastry in the shape of a bird, was easily cut up with the knives. A finger bowl and napkin was always available.
