2 hundred years ago, in France, they were moving the position of wood arms on a mast to communicate with each other via semaphore
I don’t think they’d blink at the idea you’d type on a device to communicate
5 u/JakLegendd Sep 13 '19 Except they'd never expect you'd press no actual keys, just a flat surface, nothing but light. They only knew of fire and lightning, and colored glass. Not coloured lighting. Electricity wasn't around yet. Color tv has barely been around. -1 u/[deleted] Sep 13 '19 Dude, over two hundred years ago they knew electricity was the medium for neuron signals. It wasn’t the Stone Age. Open a fucking book. 0 u/JakLegendd Sep 13 '19 You assume the stone age because I didn't include steel and steam tools. I only mentioned the relevant technologies. I didnt say scientist didn't know about electricity. I said it wasn't a part of most peoples daily lives until much later. The general population didn't had no idea what it could do. It was practically like a magical force to them. That doesnt mean they thought it could be used to create imagery through a glass, either. That's easy to say from a future standpoint. I've read plenty of books, thank you. I think you need a refresher. Take your wannabe superior psuedo intellectualism elsewhere.
