| Apr 13, 2015 at 15:16 | comment | added | Jax | @Vincent Since it is specifically asking how society and technology is different it falls within the "answerable" category, but just barely. Maybe if OP asked for effects on a given society such as western society or eastern society or specified down to the national level. | |

This posed a new question do they walk on two before becoming smarter or the other way around? (chicken or egg conundrum) sorry about the spam. | |
