New Theories / sticks,string, and mud.

i love technology,but it hasn`t progressed much since the bronze age. at this time,everything man made was derived from sticks (huts,baskets,weapons) string (rope, thongs & ties) or mud/stones (pots,tools,grindstones)
in the bronze age, all of these things had to be grubbed up out of the earth from a mine or cut from a plant.
and 4000 years later, we`re still doing the same, so no real progress really.
yes, we have lots of clever stuff now like machines, cars, computers etc. but they`re still only sticks, string or mud.
look inside any T.V or machine of any kind, you`ll see silicon chips (very refined mud) wires(special kind of string)
perhaps the only real leap in human technology was the discovery of electricity, but even so, that still has to be made using machines made of stuff dug from the ground.
we perhaps might be wise not to rely on our mod cons too much,
so can anyone name any man made thing that does not involve mud,sticks or string in some form or other?
