Old science fiction book who used the "Old Dominion" more than you could believe. IS-BE is a automation created idea, yes those people did exist long ago, and in China or really the others that lived there. These people are not what you would call modern Chinese, Asiatic sure Modern Chinese no. Not all were Asian at all, I would say they are still out there somewhere, most likely somewhere in plan sight.

Talking robots are now in existence, and they had walking tables that were automation's, people automation's and you can still see their newer creations in the dolls type ones.

Go look them up before believing this type thing. Man has hid a lot of things just one hundred years ago or a little more years. Old technological book and some use of your brain and what you were taught and what the picture, photo and writing is telling you.

I have some of them, say large machinery which built other machine and parts and circuits and sending pictures by the air waves, and they getting them a long way from where they were sent. Black and white sure, they knew about Color TVs because they said so. It was more about introducing the TV into the public. Large machines, small machines and this is where your brain should say "WHAT" they lied. They did not use much AC electricity except by wire as in telegraphs they sent the messages by wire, then later by air. Wireless things as radio and telephones, so yelp it not knew or anything. They got electricity free from the air, and they used batteries, Cars and other things by batteries and then they recharged them by the wires they used to gather it from the air. Battery recharging stations, they had these, and people wonder why they don't do it now, they making money off free stuff so why would they. They got Tesla to invent the Ac current generator so they could sell it to everyone. what do you thing water waves are, power to turn things, and it free if you have a small generator and home made water fall. You can do what they had done, learn to collect it from the air. Solar panels are similar but costly, it still collect from the things of nature. The wires are hung from poles, you may need someone who understand negative and positive connections and grounding and switches, that is if you want to try it.

Silly modern man, I include myself because I sure would have made this when I was young, it would have helped a lot of people who had to work harder than need to have worked and made their life easier.

Greed creates many bad things, and people, this is not even half of what they did.
