Ancient Roman ruins found made of iPhone-like stones. Scientists have begun calling them "Bricks".
By now you might remember that the world's last great civilization was destroyed some 2,000 years ago by an incredibly cold, cosmic event that scientists refer to as the 'Big Crunch'. A phenomenon that scientists believe could only have happened in an event known as the 'Big Freeze' which took place more than 4.5 billion years ago - the age of the Earth.
There's a clear connection between the Big Freeze and why ancient Greeks were so fascinated by the iPhone. It's a technology which dates from before any of the other ancient civilizations - and in fact, the iPhone may have originated in Greece... as early as 800 BC.
Apple's new CEO Tim Cook even revealed that Steve Jobs told his son, Tim, to develop an app that could communicate with the dead and send them messages. You can check out his full interview with ABC here:
In addition to that, researchers have discovered traces of the iPhone DNA inside human bones dating to over 50,000 years ago. A team from the US Geological Survey says that they believe the DNA was present from 1,000 BC to 40 BC (but not by more than 100 years, at the most) and that it was also used in human skin cell transplants. The study also suggests that the iPhone probably came to Europe through Italy - at around the same time the ancient Mediterranean and Alps were being cut off from the rest of Europe
Apple co-founder Steve Jobs gave an interview to the Wall Street Journal last year wherein he said that the company doesn't consider technology to be 'evil':
"It's a good feeling for people to realize that the way we create art, the way we communicate with people, the way we interact with each other, is created in a very pure way. We do not look to profit in any way. Everything we do is to make it work."
