Technology

Technological developments in WWI are thought to be a big advantage to the war. But was it really? I don't think so. As a result of technological development i think it hindered progress. I think it caused people in the war to depend on them in a way. It seemed that the people thought the new technology would do everything for them. They assumed that gas would just take everyone out, but really it just slowed down movement of their own army's. They also thought that tanks would help them but the tanks couldn't cross many tranches and all and all were more of a problem to keep going than they were benefiting the army. As a result of the new technology, there was less concentration on the actually army battle plans, and less emphasis on coming up with ways to defeat the enemy by foot. So did technological developments in WWI advance anything? I would definitely say no.
