===Agriculture===

Probably the single greatest technology of all time.  Though some reference both positives (provided for the possibility of surplus food, a measure of predictability and structure, allowed for population increases) others point out negatives (most early farmers only had one type of crop which lead to some malnutrition, if they lost their crop the population would suffer tremendously).  The other major influence of agriculture was the division of the population into classes, i.e. farm workers and everyone else.  This allowed individuals to specialize in other areas of life, trade, warfare, health care, communication, building, etc. which subsequently allowed them to develop other technologies.
