We just cut a slice of a trunk and put it to roll. We just figured out that what is round can roll easily. I have an invention called Tubarc (US pat. 6,766,817) but nature designed it around 400 millions of years ago. It can replace capillarity, but nature is the main creator of the principles.

We invented many devices and ways to increase food production and now we see how difficult is to demand people to eat moderately in an environment that provides so plenty of food. We invented machinery to replace human work making human muscles flacid and sedentary. Now we need to invent ways to convince humans to keep working. Worldwide obesity is a conseguence of excessive food and lack of exercise. How much inventions can be blamed for this social tragedy? How much inventions can help humans to rescue a balance with nature? Inventing is affecting human existence far beyond our comprehension.
