G+_George Kozi Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Aaand in other news: Originally shared by Tradjick After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, British scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago. Not to be outdone by the British, in the weeks that followed, an American archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story published in the New York Times: "American archaeologists, finding traces of 250-year-old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the British". One week later, Australia 's Northern Territory Times reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 feet in his backyard in Tennant Creek , Northern Territory , Knackers Johnson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely bugger-all. Knackers has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Australia had already gone wireless." ...Makes ya feel bloody proud to be Australian don’t it?

G+_David Pick Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I realize everyone in the tech industry have very short attention spans. But why use a photo of the Flintstones to tell the story of 250 year old copper wiring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
