There was a story years ago about some scientists who dropped a box of tablets into a village somewhere that had no previous contact with modern tech. They went back some time later, and the kids had figured out, not only how to use them, but had networked them too. I wonder what ever happened with that, or if it was even true? I suppose I should google it.

Colin Furze has done the same thing in the UK on YouTube. I haven't heard any criticism of him.

There is a journalistic shorthand at work here, "brief illness" usually means something discovered too late to treat, RIP Sir.

Do be carefully though, capacitors can store an electrical charge, even broken ones can still be dangerous.

If you are old enought to remember this show, you now make noises when you sit down. As a ten year old, this was the coolest truck on TV, the trailer would split open from the top and there was a helicopter hidden inside.
