The paper present non-instrumentalist view of technology derived by the work of M. Heidegger, G. Agamben and H. Arendt. This non-utilitarian aspect of technology is used to explain the social meaning of flint working in prehistory. The changes of flint technology related with so-called ‘tool technological revolution’ observed in Neolithic indicate radical shift in social significance of technology. During this period the dichotomous division of work and labor (described by H. Arendt) appear.
