Whatever

It just struck me - watching Brad Wright’s Travelers for the third time - that even though we might not have developed light sabers or faster than light drives or teleportation devices yet, we might already have all the components or ingredients or raw materials “laying around” and the only thing standing between us and technological advancement is the knowledge on how to assemble and them the correct way.

Aaand while writing this I realized what an oversimplification this is. We not only had to learn how to assemble materials in order to invent, say, batteries but we also had to understand electricity and how to manipulate it.

So, never mind. 😂
