Thought of the Day

We need to really think about how we can make sense of the link between ancient and modern technologies.

And journeys too. 

I remember seeing my first ever satellite, out on a winter night walk with my Dad. We used to go out every night and walk in the dark lanes, stargazing - learning the names of stars and constellations. The first satellite was pretty exciting, a smart new thing nipping between the hoary ancient stars. 

In 3300 BC a journey would be led by star nav rather than sat nav! Or a combination of sun and topography - time and place .
