After reading this post, I have realized that we really should be thankful to our ancestors. What we have now is truly because of their inventions and built principles.

Correct. 1/20000 is equal to 50 millionths (0.00005). Here is why for those who can't see it:

1/2 = 0.5 = half = 500,000 millionths
1/20 = 0.05 = 5 hundredths = 50,000 millionths
1/200 = 0.005 = 5 thousandths = 5,000 millionths
1/2000 = 0.0005 = 5 ten-thousandths = 500 millionths
1/20000 = 0.00005 = 5 hundred-thousandths = 50 millionths

$2 in 1911 = $46.21 today (it is called inflation). Amazon Kindle Reader = $79 and holds a lot more than 40,000 pages (try about 7 times that amount — 1400 books x 200 pages = 280,000 pages). It weighs about 6 ounces and one can easily find whatever you are seeking on the device. Winner: The Amazon Kindle.

Nostalgia-CITY, baby! I remember my father subscribing to, and reading Popular Scinece and Popular Mechanics religiously. As for the books made of nickel, can you envision the poor library employee who had to empty the drop box every morning. Does nickel conduct eletricity well enough to attract lightening.? If so, a storm could make for a lousy Monday morning.
