Beschreibung
A small device changed a life when it turned a difficult routine into an expectation that no longer seemed remarkable.
The most influential technologies are not always the largest or most visible. Buttons, matches, clocks, kitchen tools, and simple machines transformed routines by changing what people expected from a day. This book traces the social life of ordinary devices across different periods, from invention to adaptation and repair. It shows how convenience, skill, gender, work, and cost shaped the uneven spread of tools that later seemed entirely normal.
