There was a time when that was what happened... the era before Steve Case,
as I call it. Back when the Internet was a veritable Utopia. Now, any
simpleton with a few quid and a wireless device can spout off about this
and that or nothing at all for the masses to consume. At some point in the
future, sociologists are going to prove me right that Steve Case was the
anti-Christ, that the commercialization of the Internet was a bad thing and
that the birth of America On-Line and the point in time at which people
stopped getting dressed up in jackets and ties (or dresses for the ladies)
to go watch a professional baseball game were the points at which human
civilization took horrific downturns.

The first thing that comes to mind are the secrets surrounding the Bikini

Oh, that's not a question that I'm going to give you a straight answer to.
However, I do feel that any civilization that pours enough time, education
and resources into something, they'll eventually figure it out.

I would disagree there. Inventiveness is not a societal trait as much as
it is a human trait. Need a job done? Figure out how to do it. That's
called Engineering and it isn't specific to one society, race, ethnicity,
etc.
There's been some discussion as to which races are more inclined to better
handling technical subjects - personally, I think that's a 55 gallon drum
of worms that doesn't necessarily need to be opened since it wouldn't prove
useful in the eventuality.

If Hollywood helps you think better why aren't graduate students in STEM
fields watching 12+ hours a day worth of Mork and Mindy reruns or Ishtar or
Lucas' films? Oh, wait... they are.
Having lived close to a couple of Chinatowns here in America, the one thing
that they focus on to help them think better is hour after hour of
education. Public school, after school tutoring, etc, etc.

Ahh, I get it now... you're from Scotland, right? Or is it New Zealand?
The reason I ask is that there seems to be a lot of wool over those eyes,
my friend. :)
