THE HISTORY OF WIRELESS
Recently the New Orleans Times Picayune newspaper reported that a Cajun
amateur archaeologist, having dug to a depth of 10 meters, 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 Cajuns, in the weeks that followed Texas scientists
dug to a depth of 20 meters. Shortly after, headlines in the Dallas Morning
News read: "Texas archaeologists have found traces of 200-year old copper
wire, and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced
high-tech communications network 100 years earlier than the Cajuns."
One week later, the Daily Oklahoman reported: "After digging as deep as 30
meters in wheat fields near Watonga, Bubba Williams, a self-taught
archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore
concluded that 300 years ago, Oklahomans were already using wireless."
