Kansas Technology A leader in technology for hundreds of years.
After having dug to a depth of 10 yards last year, New York
scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years, and came to
the conclusion that their New York ancestors already had a telephone network
more than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that
followed, California scientists dug to a depth of 20 yards, and shortly after,
headlines in the LA Times newspaper read: "California archaeologists
have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their
ancestors already had anadvanced high-tech communications network a hundred years
earlier than the New Yorkers."
One week later, the 'Ness County News,' a local newspaper in Ness City ,
KS., reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 yards in wheat fields near Beeler, KS, Larry
the Cable Guy, a self- taught archaeologist and dyed-in-the-wool Jayhawks
fan, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Larry has therefore
concluded that 300 years ago, Kansas had already gone wireless."
