What I find interesting is that for nearly a millennium, the highest form of technology was the cathedral organ. Amazing when one device can hold that title for so long.

Huh. Thats pretty cool. I never knew that. For that long though??? You would think that technology developed a little faster considering how fast its developing today.

The lathe! You need a lathe to make a lathe (and the rest of the machine shop). Not an American invention, but it certainly is crucial to making everything.

(If you want to be an engineer when you grow up, try to get an opportunity to use one, or at least know what it does. Talked to a couple of junior MEs last week that couldn't tell me what it was for... )
