Technology, among several other meanings, is the human activity that tries to make things easier, everything that could be done through an easier way, may eventually be done, and a thing – let’s say a common barbeque – may become easier and funnier.
For example, everyone who has been to bbq grills reckons that the most difficult part of them is to get the coalfire ready, which is not a simple task. Someone figured that, if you add the appropriate device, you can profit from gas technology and have a gas bbq that you can turn on and off everytime you want, and quickly. But real barbecue grills don’t use gas, because the taste of the meat may suffer delicate changes, and, principally, because the fire and smoke from the coals, in direct contact with the meat, cure the flesh, something that you can’t obtain by cooking your barbecue grill just over a blue burning gas fire.
Almost all good barbecue recipes and those who write them admit that there’s no barbecue grill if there’s no fire, no smoke and no coals. Well, to grill tasty roastbiffs is a thing of technology, and not allways technology has to be complicated, nor involve electronics or programming. The weber bbq proves that a clever idea can revolutionize even the most unexpected features of our lives
