SanguineSolitude Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 i alsways am fascinated by how much knowledge has been lost and refound... often years and years later. like the egyptian batteries. took us thousands of years to figure out how to generate electricity, and yet they were already using it to gold plate stuff.

stevehookah Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 If you think of it. Mankind has never had any really TRUE inventions for decades. Sure, made them 'smaller/hold more data' ect. But those are just renos of previous inventions. I read about a quantum computer, and also a DNA computer. However, it's STILL a computer. Gimmie something 'new'.. Like instant travel, or bending time/space, or world peace. Last true invention IMHO was Viagra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
