When man first made tools to help get out of the forest I was probably a ways down on the list but still one of the first.
I don’t really exist but only as a representation of other things. But you can still physically hold me in your hand.
I am in reality one of the most powerful things on the planet, but my power only exists in the minds of people.
What am I?

WORK.

because:
it is a tool used by man.
it can only be represented in ones actions.
you can hold work in your hand.
work is extreamly powerful and is the reason why things/tasks are accomplished, but the only way to use this power is by signals being carried from your brain to different parts of your body telling them to preform tasks.
"i am work"
