 Now, almost a day later, no one has begun interpreting, dissecting, attaching synonyms, re-interpreting or otherwise mangling Dave's wise words in an effort to find the hidden key to the game. I smell a conspiracy! - petek [more] |

Re: TOP TEN TECHNOLOGIES Pre-1970s
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.

Re: TOP TEN TECHNOLOGIES Pre-1970s
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...  )

Re: TOP TEN TECHNOLOGIES Pre-1970s
The Sid Meier Civilization game series offers one opinion about pre-1970s technology. Google will get you to the game's list.
