I remember reading somewhere (can't find the source now) that we generally know that during tool use, we are able to treat the tool as an extension of the body -whether it's a simple tool (like a hammer or a knife) or more complex tools (like a car or a crane).
This is an evolutionary or developmental advantage I assume.

You would be less likely to lose the good shape rock or stick for bonking things I guess?
I think I read something similar where it seemed like iPad babies thought the tablet was some extension of themselves.
McLuhan would say it is.
With the help of "Extensions of Man" I have visited many planets.
