[ WP ] A child is playing in the woods and stumbles upon a piece of 'Old Earth ' technology , managing accidentally to turn it back on ...

Sam went tumbling when his foot hit the log. He lost his balance and, hands outstretched, fell into an old desk, which promptly collapsed under his weight. The dry sand gave way beneath his hands as he pushed himself up to examine his surroundings. He felt his fingertip brush something smooth like glass as he stood. 
 Unless you looked closely, you would not have been able to tell that the pile of sticks and rocks had been a house. Its framework was charred and reduced mostly to rubble, and anything else important had been buried beneath the sand. These ruins always yielded useful scrap to bring back to camp, and Sam would have been excited if he were n't so worried about his parents finding out how deep in the woods he was. 
 He remembered the object his hand had brushed against when he stood up and reached down to examine it. Below him, the sand having been cleared away, was a tiny dark surface of glass. Upon picking it up and brushing it off he found it to be only a few inches wide, a small rectangle. It was certainly not deep enough to be a box that you could store anything useful inside, so he was unintrigued until he discovered the buttons. A small rubber one on the side brought the device to life. 
 Sam yelped and dropped the glowing object, then, finding that it was seemingly completely safe, picked it back up. His curiosity had the better of him at this point. A small prompt reading'Slide to Unlock' with a tiny arrow allowed him to access what was stored on it. He had heard of the glowing devices, computers. He had never been able to imagine one actually working. 
 Some of it was clear, like the clock application, but he had no idea what `` stocks'' were. Old human language, perhaps? It did n't matter. The elders would be able to interpret it. He pressed the activation button again, the only one that seemed to do anything useful, and the device went dark as hoped. 
 The boy turned away from the newly discovered ruin. It did n't matter what he left inside. They would come back for it. It also did n't matter if his parents found out where he was anymore. The whole village would rejoice at the discovery of this `` computer.'' But as he turned and began to walk back, quietly examining this wonder, it gave out a small ringing sound and lit up again. Sam dropped it a second time. 
 Small letters had appeared on the'Slide to Unlock' screen next to a green symbol. Above was a bolded series of numbers, and below was a message: `` Hello there. Who are you?''
