Craft vs Industrial Tools
All of humanity's tool extensions are divisible into two main groups:
the craft and the industrial tools. I define the craft tools as all those
tools which could be invented by one man starting all alone, naked
in the wilderness, using only his own experience and his own
integral facilities. Under these isolated conditions he could and did
invent spears, slings, bows, and arrows, etc. By industrial tools I
mean all the tools that cannot be produced by one man, as for
instance the S.S. Queen M...Interesting taxonomy. Crafts are things we can make by our naked selves in a forest, while industrials require another human to produce.
