Bitt - wayyyy too much thought on a troll post!

However, since you put in so much careful thought, I must rebut. I submit to you that my thoughts were under the third, anthropological, definition of technology.

tech·nol·o·gy
Pronunciation Key (tk-nl-j)
n. pl. tech·nol·o·gies

1.
_______1. The application of science, especially to industrial or commercial objectives.
_______2. The scientific method and material used to achieve a commercial or industrial objective.
2. Electronic or digital products and systems considered as a group: a store specializing in office technology.
3. Anthropology. The body of knowledge available to a society that is of use in fashioning implements, practicing manual arts and skills, and extracting or collecting materials.

That said, I cede the point that almost every item on my list has seen vast improvement over the past two millenia.

My point is that the really good ideas have staying power.
