Communication Anachronism

June 14, 2009 by Caleb Kraft 22 Comments

anachronism

There aren’t many details, or really any at all here. This was just too fun not to post. Here are two cansĀ  strung together, just like when you were a kid. However, when you talk into one the sound is then converted and transmitted to the other via fiber optic cable. Looking at the pictures, it seems that it is only one way though.
