  2. What is the oldest surviving intact and still working technology?
  3. Who is the most famous, or infamous, inventor?
  4. What is a piece of tech that virtually everyone has?
  5. What was the biggest technological-based disaster?
  6. What is the latest bit of tech that has got everyone excited (or worried)?
  7. What is the main limitation/primary issue of technology right now?
  8. What powers tech in general?
  9. Which piece of tech had the greatest influence on society?
