Technology is the tools, machines, systems and processes developed from scientific knowledge for practical purposes, so this photo is chosen for the topic “human-technology interaction” since it shows how we, humans, make use of technological tools to reach our targets. Every technology developed by humans has their own purposes, and usually these purposes are very simple, spoons are invented because it helps us to drink soup, rockets are invented because we want to explore the universe. It’s the same for fishing rod, we invent it just because we want to catch the fish in the sea as our food.
This is an significant photo not because of showing any important technology for humans, but because it shows humans’ relationship with technology.
