Keep moving forward

I think that technology alone just will decline. Remember the history of ancient civilizations. The ancient Egyptians built the pyramids, but then forgot how to do it. The Romans built aqueducts amazing. And then we have forgotten how to do it. "

The lack of progress - a regression, so always be moving forward.

Why is this advice so good
