Technē: Forged in Fire

03.10.21

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: Forged in Fire

Last week we took down Mesopotamia. This week we announce our take on the concept of technology itself. This ancient tech origins series will take on a number of topics, but perhaps none so core to technology as the word, the inspiration, the godliness of the concept itself. 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.
