Parents babysitters indeed.Exposure to different societies and ideas. (Ex: Anime and Cartoons.)People go out of their way to find and make them. (Ex: Honey versus Water versus Vinegar to catch more flies.(Sweet Versus Bland Versus Sour))Suspected AdvancesCommunication: Spoken languages, village messenger relayers, homing pigeons, printing press, telegraph machines(Morse code.), radio, ...satellites?..., futuristic advances...Information Storage: Oral traditions(Listening and memorizing), written languages, libraries, printing press, magnetic tape(Cassete and video), computer hard drives, internet, futuristic advances...Transportation: Hand held, bags, backpacks, domestication of animals to carry items, roads, carts, wagons, ships, railroads, cars, planes, futuristic advances...Learning: Personal experience, oral traditions(Listening and memorizing), reading, analysis of the individual to refine assimilation of information(That ones real but can't remember the name or who to ask.), present day advances, futuristic advances...Dispersal of Information: Oral tradition(Listening and memorizing), written languages, community assemblies, general information schools, focused information schools, rapid assimilation of information schools(College and Military.), radio, television, internet, futuristic advances...Group Cohesion: Favors/Threats/Friends, favors, friends, politics, families, clans, religion, morals, villages, feudal, military, cities, profit/loss ratio, commercial, countries, ethics, democracy, futuristic advances... (Bleh. The techniques and methods used to make a country stable and adaptable with each improvement allowing it to become larger without collapsing due to not being able to control and adapt to both internal and external stresses. (Collapsing due to anarchy or rebellion, or being destroyed because of not advancing technologically, economically, socially, diplomatically, etc. at the same or better rate of a hostile or indifferent rival.))Secondary QuestionsHow common is it for those in DnD Campaigns to try and cause widespread improvements to their surrounding world/s?What advanced techniques and equipment have you or those around you created and/or used in your own campaigns to achieve this?Personal Focus at PresentRapid advancement of publicly common technology (Method used unimportant. Technological, Magical, Spiritual, Psionic, etc...)World Peace and sentient rights.Personal NoteOriginally thought the internet or telephones would be the biggest influences towards world peace, so it came as a surprise to find that entertainment television, especially once people were able to choose what they would watch because of being able to buy video tapes instead of merely accepting what was presently being aired, seemed to have a much more likely ability to influence world peace than either of them.</blockquote>
