[QUOTE="ndfinfan, post: 376748, member: 2279"] I always enjoy reading historical posts that then cause speculation and what if discussions. I think one of the most interesting what if discussions I've ever taken part in centered around the industrial revolution. In the mid 90s I took an ancient Greek and Roman history class at Minot State. During one of the lectures about Roman engineering and technology, the professor said something that I still occasionally consider today. He simply said that had the Roman empire not collapsed when it did, the pace of technology advancement could have continued on a path that would have ushered in the industrial revolution centuries sooner than when it actually took place. Where would we be today if the industrial revolution occurred in the 1600s rather than the 1800s! [/QUOTE]
