Joke Of The Day: Ancient Technology
 |
After digging to a depth of 100 meters last year, Russian scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years, and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network one thousand years ago.
So, not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, American scientists dug 200 meters and headlines in the US papers read: “US scientists have found traces of 2000 year old optical fiber, and have concluded that their ancestors already had advanced high-tech digital telephone 1000 years earlier than the Russians.” One week later, Jacob Zuma, President of South Africa reported the following: “After digging as deep as 500 meters, South African scientists have found absolutely nothing. They concluded that 5000 years ago… their ancestors were already using wireless technology.” |
Derby The Dog
Derby was born with deformed front legs. A cart didn’t help him experience running so a 3D printing company designed loop-shaped prosthetics to let Derby do what dogs love to do.
Technology… it’s a beautiful thing!
3D printing is such an amazing technology. In the past 2-3 years we have really seen the technology make its way into all fields of study and all walks of life. It has gone on to impact the lives of millions of people in one way or another, and has enabled many individuals to do things they never would have thought possible previously.
It’s not just humans that have been reaping the benefits of 3D printing. Our four-legged friends have also been seeing the many advantages that 3D printing provides. In the past, we’ve covered stories of different ways in which animals have been the benefactors of the technology. This includes TurbooRoo, a dog that had a wheelchair 3D printed for him, as well as other animals such as ducks, penguins, cats and more, that in some way, shape or form have benefited greatly from this relatively new technology.
Now, comes a story that may just blow all of these others out of the water. It is of a dog named Derby, who was born with two deformed legs.
It all started back in October when 3D Systems’ Director of CJP Product Management, Tara Anderson adopted Derby as a foster mom from Peace and Paws Dog Rescue, after his owners could no long care for him. Peace and Paws provided Derby with a home, preventing him from ultimately being euthanized.
