Your right. People have lived without technology for thousands of years. Or have they. The people back then would not have used the word 'technology', they would have used the word 'tools'. The thing is though, the tools were a sort of technology. Over the years, we have advanced those technologies to thing's we have now. Science is a different matter. Science, especially with the Chinese, wasn't considered much as important. They though it distracted the mind. I have difficulty thinking of major applications of science. the only one I can think of, back then, is hydraulics. The Chinese dealt with hydraulics, which made their life's safer. The hydraulics were used in their guns, which helped them in battles. Another thing to do with science is aerodynamics. though they weren't as understood anyway near as much as now, the Chinese spent years designing swords during the dynastic rules, so they could get the best sword possible.
