Tarihe d\u00f6nelim biraz. \u0130nsanl\u0131k ne zaman ki ate\u015fi buldu, eti pi\u015firdi, “Tamam,” dedi, “y\u0131rtt\u0131k.” Ama as\u0131l devrim neydi biliyor musun? \u00c7\u00f6mlek\u00e7ili\u011fin icad\u0131. Yani suyu ve malzemeyi bir kab\u0131n i\u00e7ine koyup ate\u015fe oturtmak. \u00c7orba, di\u015fleri d\u00f6k\u00fclm\u00fc\u015f ya\u015fl\u0131lar\u0131n, hen\u00fcz \u00e7i\u011fneme yetisi olmayan bebeklerin hayatta kalmas\u0131n\u0131 sa\u011flad\u0131.

Teknolojik z\u0131mb\u0131rt\u0131lar hayat\u0131 kolayla\u015ft\u0131r\u0131r ama ruhu kurutur.
