Their was a great empire once, it was called Rome. The scary part is the Romans were about a step away from creating a steam engine 2k years ago. It is a damn shame they didn't we would be colonizing the stars now.

Rome may have still fallen but maybe not if they sparked an industrial revolution.

Technoligy is different among societies as they develope. In this day and age their are still people that live in huts and hunt with spears. Compare that to the cutting edge of society that wants to put a permenant base on the moon and mars.
