How things works

The book
Introduction
"El problema real no es si las máquinas piensan, sino si lo hacen los hombres" - B. F. Skinner.
The technology appear be the most important thing in our world today. In this context, the humans have developed and create a lot of technological objects for make our life more easier and comfortable. For this, they have created unimaginable things and take the technology to another level with science, investigation, imagination, creativity and machines (that is also a technological object created for humans). In the present, we can say that the most important debate is about how far we can become and how can we progress in the technological matter. In fact, the progess, today, it's measure about how is our technology. In this way we can say that the machines are dominate and invade us. For that, we can ask ourself the same question that B. F. Skinner do, and concentrate not in the machines anymore, if not in the humans beings and the developed of our minds.
It's for that I will talk about the book, a technological object that for me cover all the previously mentioned, I mean, is the best answer for us.

Body
A book is a work print, manuscript or painted in sheets of various materials, but like we all know today, mostly in paper. There is not information about who invented it because the writing date about a very antique epoque, when the humans beings write in a piece of stone. We know that because there are people who it's dedicated to study about this facts, and the materials or tools that the humans beings take in the antiquity. For that, we can say about the book that is a technological object that is evolved in the time, with the humans and the materials available for us.

Use a book is the most easy thing to do in the world, but I really think that even though read is for all the people, not all can do it, because you need a few things that not all want to enhance. But first, for read a book you need just opened it and read. For this you need good light, to not force the strain and  preferably, be in a comfortable place. The most important thing to know is that you can read a book anywhere. Like I say previously, do you need a few things more. This is a big imagination, desire to dream and a lot concentration for understand so many realities and so many worlds. I mean, the possibility to enter to another world and be another person. This is all you need to read a book, nothing more.

In general, all of us have books in our houses or schools, or our places of work. So, the books aren´t difficult to get. I think that the book was an object created to help us in our lifes; but not like the most of the technological objects, for do our life more easier, if not to help our hearts and minds to be bigger and never stop dreaming. This is the thing that the book does for human beings, help us to do better persons, foment our imagination and our feelings. The book help us to be ourselves.

Conclusion
“De los diversos instrumentos inventados por el hombre, el más asombroso es el libro; todos los demás son extensiones de su cuerpo… Sólo el libro es una extensión de la imaginación y la memoria”.  - Jorge Luis Borges.
The "book" represents, for me, the most important and special piece that we have, like humans.
Like Jorge Luis Borges says, a book is an object invented like an extension of our memory and our imagination, because with the book we can remember our history and the history of the world, but also we can imagine an entire new world that appear to be impossible.
Is for that I consider the book like the most important technological object created by and for humans beings, because what are we without the mind and soul? anything less humans beings.
Without "the book" we all are just beings, but not humans.
