The short lens is the easiest one to look through.
A thousand years ago the understanding of soil related sciences, the methods of raising livestock were thought of as highly technical.
Ten thousand years ago battle strategies and conquering were raised to such detailed significance, again, language was not "technically" adapted yet, about 85% of the males were eradicated from the planets population.
A couple thousand years ago speech and languages became highly refined and in that frame of time the written forms and printing in uniform ways with paper manufacture began. This was undisutably extremely technical.
With each phase of human advance the new dilemma's required originality, adaptation, and sometimes painful struggle but humans have continued to prevail. There are always those who overreact and their counterparts, ones who use them for personal or group advantages.
