Ancient Greece as almost there. (Antikythera mechanism)
|
There's a surprising amount of cases where the greeks had a potentially revolutionary piece of technology, yet failed to realise it's potential beyond a toy. For example, the aelophile ( or steam engine ) was known to the greeks at least as early as 50 C.E.
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. - J.R.R Tolkien
