as something special to be guarded and so locked them up "in a gold box" where theyremained for some time.

According to the story, Rome gradually shared the "gifts" with emerging scientists hopingthey could figure out what they were. Essentially all of the technology in use today, publiclyand secretly, is supposedly related to these "gifts" from 1913.

If you do not like the "gifts" story, try the test of common sense: In the space of a singlehuman lifetime - a single generation - we have seen the world go from riding horses andreading by kerosene lanterns to flying to the Moon and bubbling over with high-techtrinkets. Do you really think that mankind did all that so quickly on their own with nooutside help ?

SOCIALIZED SYSTEMS

Socialized systems are generally quite pleasant social Systems. We have all spent time in socialized systems, and for most it was a good time. Children, in a family, live in a socializedsystem. Parents do not say to kids, "'Mommy made a great supper, but it will cost you $4.95 so go cut someone's grass or something to come up with the bucks or go to bed hungry .There are no "coin boxes" on the refrigerator or TV. Kids take "what they need" whenever they need to do so.

A SOCIALIZED SYSTEM IS NOT SELF-MAINTAINING. IN ORDER TOCONTINUE TO EXIST, IT MUST BE LINKED IN AN ASSOCIATION WITHSOME OTHER SYSTEM WHICH IS NOT SOCIALIZED.

In the family, that other system is the jobs that the parents have so that they can make money to keep the TV plugged in and the refrigerator stuffed with food and goodies. If they did notparticipate in this other system which is not socialized, the linked system which supports and maintains the kids would fail.
