![]() Isn't that just amazing? I know it isn't a "computer" as we know today but that must have been the most sophisticated piece of technology at the time. If only the Greeks could have developed that computer I can gurantee you that the world as we know it would be greatly further in technology. here is an article on that computer for more information. http://www.sciy.org/blog/_archives/2006/11/29/2536866.html |

access from http://z4.invisionfree.com/historymaking/i...p?showtopic=146 has been denied They couldn't have made modern day computers, their physics understanding wasn't great enough, plus they couldn't get semi conductors. |

With Others? To Make Semi-Conductors? |

The heart should only exist to pump blood to the brain and rest of the body anything else is a waste of time and energy. Love and Hate are only impediments to the human condition. Imagine what could be accomplished if only the human race could shed our humanity. When the facts change, my mind changes. What do you do, sir? AWESOME HITCH (CLICKY) | |

Look, people are curious. More likely than not, Aristotle or somebody would have picked up a piece of stuff on the ground and thought: Maybe this is useful in something......... dammit. If only we had electricity. |

"There are strange things done in the midnight sun, by the men who moil for gold; the arctic trails have their secret tales that'd make your blood run cold... the Northern Lights have seen queer sights, but the queerest they ever did see... was that night on the marge of Lake LeBarge, that I cremated Sam McGee." - Robert W.

Were it not for that unfortunate interruption in knowledge and understanding we call the Dark Ages, then perhaps it would have been much earlier. |
