Some ancient technology is still useful -- and some just won't die
Consider the abacus, evolved
possibly as long as 4,500 years ago, this handy gadget served the mathematical
desires of merchants and accountants until the development of mechanical
assessing appliances in the 19th years. But the abacus hasn't been disregarded.
Instead it still inhabits on in niches -- for example teaching preschoolers the
basics of counting.
There
are a number of obsolete technologies and gadgets that have persevered from
somewhat less ancient times right down to the present day, though
afresh in substantially weakened figures and scope. A brief trip through these
technological fossils serves as a message on the durability of pieces we
sometimes think of as ephemeral.
