Ancient Greece as almost there. (Antikythera mechanism)
|
The story goes that Hero the inventor of the steam engine explained to the king what they could do. The king put his arm around Hero and said "yes but what would the slaves do?" so it went no further.
Strangley this king prefered his workforce over technology. You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis. |
