Some more ideas from John Dyer
|-
| [[Genesis 4:17]]
| First mention of a city.
| (From [http://donteatthefruit.com/2009/07/from-the-garden-to-the-city-technology-in-the-story-of-redemptive/ John Dyer]) "The city, in all its technological glory, becomes a symbol of man’s quest to restore the comfort and power of Garden without the presence of God. Babylon, Ninevah, Sodom, and others come to represent the enemies of God and the collective human desire to live happily without him."
|-
| [[Genesis 4:22]]
* built with bricks, not stone (v3).
* God was impressed by humanity's achievement (v6).
| Here we see humanity attempting to use their creative powers to build their way into heaven. Part of the lesson here is that we should not arrogantly think that our own abilities are unlimited.

| [[Genesis 11:31]]
|-
| [[Matthew 13:55]] <br/>
[[Mark 6:333]]
| Jesus is the son of a carpenter.
| As a carpenter he would have used tools frequently. According to W.E.Vine's ''Expository Dictionary of New testament Words'' these are the only two occurrences of the Greek word ''tektōn'' (τέκτων) – from which we get the English "technology".
