Where was the peak? 90s probably? Many people were getting second lines for dial up.

Kind of crazy to think that such a significant technology as the telephone came and died in about 200 years. Just a blip in human history.

In 2009, The Economist wrote "At current rates the last landline in America will be disconnected sometime in 2025."

That's wild. There are probably a lot less than we think. I'd bet most businesses are on VOIP now.

What is content?

Is content a reaction to the world around us?

Or is it art of eggs & beans?

Do we create content, or do we discover it as our content-tools do their work?

Is content within us, trying to get out? Or is it around us, and we put it together?

Is the nature of content elusive and complex? Or maybe content is simple?

Perhaps content is just that which makes us content.

Thank you for creating paradoxical content!

Maybe at some point it'll break the information system.

Book both good and bad

Put one book in a museum with all names/numbers non destructively censored because its a historical record of data which is good.

Official record of bad things don't make the record a bad thing, the phone book doesn’t need to support or have an opinion about phones to tell you phones and there numbers exists and where to find them.

Then burn all the other copies because selling a centralised record of all that personal information is immoral, so book very bad after all.

Definitely good. You can’t use Facebook to beat someone that owes you money without leaving any marks.
