[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel Butler: [qb] I think the Atlantis stuff looks more modern, really. Displays, controls, all right there, instead of having to calculate relative heights of stones and so on. Also, a screen, I would think, would convey much more information than a set of 'topological' stones. [/qb][/QUOTE]Well in a way having to calculate relative heights of stones to control a high tech devise proves, in a way that the person using it is REALLY clever and has a sharp eye, to say the least. So by that logic the "stonetech" is more advanced than the more intuitive displays on Atlantis. As for how much information it can convey, you have to wonder how many possible positions one of those control stones can have and if it's significance is altered in the context of all the other stones then the permutations become exponentially complex. I think the key phrase for the Stonetech is not so much less modern as it is deceptively simple. Plus one would think the stonetech is more durable and not as prone to breakdown as say a touch display or a panel of small buttons, at least on the scale of millions of years and especially when said tech is often found out in the open.
