Were there (men) geeks before technology?

Now I'm not labeling anyone as a geek, nerd or anything else whatsoever. I just had an interesting thought today that made me wonder. Those are the types of things that I will always try and include in this blog.

When you think about it though...Just two hundred years ago people still lived in cabins and had hardly any technology compared to what we have today. Which means that all the men, no matter what, pretty much always had to be taking care of their family.

You see pictures of guys back then and it's very mind consuming and sometimes jealousy kicks in because they are always very muscular, etc. I believe that technology in a way has weakened us,because before now we had to build our homes. Now we can just call a company, hand them some paper (money) and the deal is complete.
