Technē: Forged in Fire, Part I – Hephaestus

03.17.21

A few weeks ago we offered the graphic above to introduce a different kind of thought in the tech world… Examining the roots, the deep, ancient roots of technology. We hear a lot about technological origin stories with the IBMs, Microsofts, and Apples of the 1970s/80s and a touch earlier in the 20th Century, but what are the deeper, more ancient roots of some of today’s greatest techno-advancement?

Technē

Last week, we introduced our new Forged in Fire Series within Ancient Tech.

Forged in Fire

Today, we introduce our community to the God that started it all in tech: Hephaestus, and thus kick-off the Forged in Fire Series.

HEPHAESTUS

Join us next week for a deep dive. In doing so we’ll be exploring Hephaestus, the concept of Technē, and how bronze helped build the world toward the technological innovation we know today. So grab your forge, suck down some creative juices, and let’s get inventing, next Wednesday on BCB Cyber.
