Bleach (sodium hypochlorate) is a cool piece of technology.
@starkatt How about agriculture, too?
@Felthry gosh that one is so fundamental it's even faded into the "assumed" category for me :)
@starkatt Tools in general, like the abstract concept of using something that isn't part of you to do a thing
One Salt Deposit + One Tube Coral Sample = 1 Purified Water. :-P
@starkatt ....and I did that wrong. That equals bleach, and bleach equals 2 purified water.
There's something I really love about technology that's so much a part of infrastructure and daily life that we don't even recognize it for what it is.
Concrete is probably my favorite example.
