Ancient Egyptian Tech May Be Key To Printing 3D Ceramics

"We like to think of technology as always being forward looking. It's supposed to be about nanoparticles and the Cloud, not steam engines and the telephone exchange."

Those who think technology only means looking into the future should think again

For example:

Without compass, an ancient invention, we won't even comprehend the North from the South

There are so many things that we are enjoying now rely on old tech, some of the tech dates back thousands of years.

I guess the adage "Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it"

And I guess re-inventing the wheel isn't exactly a very expedient act, or is it?
