Longer Levers is a blog about the tools that humans develop to extend our capabilities and how those tools end up influencing us. The name comes from the quote from Archimedes: &amp;ldquo;Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.&amp;rdquo; This quote speaks to the capability amplification that tools provide to humans. Given tools that are powerful enough, people can accomplish feats they never thought possible and would have actually been impossible without use of the tool.</description> </item> </channel> </rss>
