On Technology by National Origin

[Lin Evans]

After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Scottish

Scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came

To the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone

Network more than 100 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, British

Scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines

In the UK newspapers read: "British archaeologists have found traces

Of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors

Already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred

Years earlier than the Scots."

One week later, "The Klub", a Sunburg, Minnesota newspaper reported

The following: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in corn fields

Near Games Lake, Ole Johnson, a self taught archeologist, reported

That he found absolutely nothing. Ole has therefore concluded that

300 years ago Norwegians were already using wireless."

YOU BETCHA!
