There is a general misconception that advanced modern technology equates to an advanced civilisation. Looking back to ancient Greece, Mesopotamia or Egypt there were a lot of interesting ideas implemented in those societies that we haven't even thought of today. Ancient Greece had a very interesting healthcare system for example which was passed down to ancient Rome in some form. A lot of countries today have advanced weaponry, rockets, digital computing but haven't managed to implement a solid healthcare or education system.
