LOL, it's like Star Trek in here...anything over 200 years old is described as "ancient technology"

Yeah, I know. I was discussing this by email, but you have to chalk it up to a combo of journalistic hyperbole, incompetence on the part of the writer & editor and the fact that to Americans a couple of hundred years old is pretty old. We have a fair number of ancient, pre-colombian sites in the US obviously, but not the profusion of landmarks and extant buildings several hundred years as they do in, let's say, Europe for example. And for obvious reasons. yeah totally, there's plenty of ancient stuff knocking around for you guys I'm sure - this isn't it but it's amusing that they used such an inappropriate word... like saying "antique iphone found" haha ---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ---------- Damn dude.....I used "ancient" in the title of the thread too.
