SEEL paragraph on technology and change

Paragraph planning

Basic idea: the impact that technological advancements throughout history has had on the human population

Impacts include:Since 400,000 years ago when humans began to develop, the human race has only increased in population, size, density. This is because we advanced up the food chain and so there are less of us being killed by predators, but also because technological advancements have made it easier for humans to thrive in their habitats. Examples include: 

• 
  
• the creation of the wheel: transporting resources and people has never been easier. 
• The invention of weapons allowed humans to make their way up the food chain, thus increasing the population as the number of predators decreased. 
• Paper makes it easier to document information, 
• the Internet allows information to be shared across the world and communicate with many people. 

Since early humans first began to develop and advance up the food chain roughly 400,000 years ago, the population has only increased, and it is the technological advancements throughout history that we have to thank for this.
The creation of tools such as the wheel, paper, weapons, and even the Internet just 20 years ago has impacted the population in such a way that present Earth is even on the brim of becoming overpopulated. To illustrate this idea, the creation of stone tools and weapons, first used in Africa in the early stages of human development, helped humans advance up the food chain.
Instead of climbing up trees to escape, humans now had stone weapons to fend off predators. Humans quickly advanced, thus increasing the population as habitats were better defended and less humans were being killed. As time went on and technology became more and more advanced, the population only got larger.
Notable inventions include the wheel by the Macedonians around 3500 B.C. The wheel allowed humans to move resources faster, travel at greater speeds and for longer distances. Later in history, we now have the Internet, aeroplanes, and of course, a much greater population, and we only have the advancement of technology to thank for it.
