Technical Revolution After having dug to a depth of 100 meters last year,
Scottish scientists found traces of copper wire dating back
1000 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a
telephone network more than 1000 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, English
scientist dug to a depth of 200 meters and shortly after headlines in the UK
newspapers read; 'English archaeologists have found traces of 2000 year old
fibre-optic cable and have concluded that their ancestors already had an
advanced high-tech digital communications network a thousand years earlier
than the Scots'.
One week later, Irish newspapers reported the following: 'After digging
as deep as 500 meters in a County Mayo bog, Irish scientists have found
absolutely nothing. They have therefore concluded that 5000 years ago
Ireland's inhabitants were already using wireless technology'.
