        Subject: Good reading on the concept 'tool'?

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a short reading for undergraduates on the
concept of ‘tool’? I want something to give the students in the first week of a
‘tools and methods’ course, to get them thinking about the nature and value of
‘tools’ as opposed to other things we might study – methodologies, systems,
conceptual frameworks, approaches etc.

My mind says ‘Heidegger’, but that would be a sledgehammer. I’d like a
conservation-starter rather than a head-scratcher!

Thanks all,
