Not about politics . . . . for a change

Believe it or not, there is other craziness out there in the world besides the U. S. political news.    This one also brings a note of wry, head-scratching wonder at the encroachment of modern technology.

Here it is as reported in today's Atlanta Journal Constitution:

Biblical Park Outfits Donkeys with Wi-Fi.

An Israeli attraction meant to immerse tourists in an authentic, ancient biblical experience has outfitted its donkeys with wireless routers.  At the historical park of Kfar Kedem, visitors decked out in biblical robes and headdresses ride donkeys through the rolling hills of the Galilee, learning how people lived in Old Testament times.  Now they can also surf the Web while touring the land of the Bible on one of the oldest forms of transportation.  A device slung around the donkey's neck like a feed-bag is actually a Wi-Fi router.

The audacity of this proves that our addiction to technology is nearly complete.   Is there nothing that can be left to historical authenticity without the taint of technology?
