> Wouldn't it be cool if in far future, my great-grandkids find some piece of tech I was using, and it would still be working? We have this, it's just relegated to the extremely expensive or extremely simple. Basically, metal items without too many fine parts. Old swords and knives might last for a few hundred years in a good environment (and alloys might help? That's a technology of itself), and gold lasts quite a long time, but is limited in which items it's appropriate to use for. It's not impossible to believe that my great grandkids might use my favorite paring knife. It's also not all that special sounding, since we've had that for centuries, so it doesn't seem all that amazing. I imagine there was some point in history it did though.
