The Oldest Drawing Created by Humans

Alex

It may look like a scribble on a rock, but according to archaeologists, it's the earliest known drawing created by man:

Dating back some 73,000 years, the mysterious picture consists of three lines intersected by six angled lines, like a more complicated version of the hashtag (#).
The picture was unearthed at Blombos Cave, a site about 300 kilometers east of Cape Town. The cave was frequented by humans as early as 100,000 years ago and is packed with evidence of tool-making and symbolic designs.

Blue jeans are a classic example of this.

Remember in the 60s and 70s they would last for years and it was no sin to patch them as they got faded.

Now all jeans look new and are thrown out with any sign of wear. If you want them faded and with holes in them, you buy them that way.

Also T shirts are another example of items that are discarded after any wear

I've tried to steer clear of cheap stuff lately. It's just not worth it. The clothes smell like chemicals (which no amount of washing seems to get out), the shoes give you blisters, and the toys... well, I guess they're okay if you don't mind a bit of heavy metal exposure. I may not have the newest and best of everything, but at least I know that what I do have will last a while... and won't cause me physical harm.
