- ianlevesque 7y agoOnly robots make phone calls now.
- 27182818284 7y agoI think this is an underrated comment. I think 99% of my phone calls now are robo-calls or organizations I've done some transaction with calling. Very few (1% or less) of my phone calls are like friends and family--other mediums just took those over completely.
- netsharc 7y agoIn the grim future, you'll have a bot that can talk to your family and friends, like this with text to speech, using your voice: https://www.theverge.com/a/luka-artificial-intelligence-memorial-roman-mazurenko-bot https://www.theverge.com/a/luka-artificial-intelligence-memo...
- sbjustin 7y agoI completely agree but the consideration is your phone is dead and you need to get ahold of someone. You should be able to easily memorize some way to contact emergency contacts IMO.
- metrix 7y agoGive me a call at metrix.afraid.org instead.
- pteraspidomorph 7y agoYou could encode the addresses as 24 letters and numbers (a to z, case insensitive) but I'd say dns is probably a better solution.
- zaroth 7y agoThat's "8kEUuBoURjsxZ" in Base56. Or using the PGP wordlist, "bookshelf amusement Vulcan phonetic crackdown alkali merit candidate aardvark Atlantic" So obviously that's not going to work! But IPv6 isn't meant to be a static identifier. We have DNS for that. I do think there's a future where the concept of "phone number" no longer exists. But this isn't it. EDIT: Made it clear I agree with lemcoe9 that this doesn't work.
- slezyr 7y agoGood luck with that. Numbers are easier to pronounce/use/enter. Not everyone uses latin. > "bookshelf amusement Vulcan phonetic crackdown alkali merit candidate aardvark Atlantic" Make some chinese, japanese, russians to pronounce this on daily base. EDIT: __aardvark__ had to google this one.

- stuff4ben 7y agoYou know someone is going to reserve "Longing, rusted, furnace, daybreak, seventeen, benign, nine, homecoming, one, freight car"
- lmm 7y agoA phone number is just an entry in my phone's address book - I don't think I dial them by hand any more often than I type an IP address by hand.
- vidarh 7y agoExactly. I don't know my moms phone number. Or my sons. Or any friends or colleagues. The only phone number I remember is my childhood home phone number that was drilled into me 35 years ago, and my own number.
- WorldMaker 7y agoThe last (originally a) land line phone number I had memorized in childhood was quietly lost last year when my grandmother passed away. That personally seemed to mark the end of the era where I'd ever remember a phone number that wasn't one I punch into random "rewards programs" kiosks as an ID of sorts.
- snuxoll 7y agoThere are exactly 6 phone numbers I can recall from memory, one of them is my grandfathers which I’ve known since I was little, the others are family members on my phone plan because we got assigned a block of contiguous numbers when we switched to T-Mobile.
- hossbeast 7y agoI type ip addresses by hand a dozen times a day, at least.
- Already__Taken 7y agoThe people I know who do this, don't understand DNS and for some reason always reluctant to use DHCP and use the phrase "too complicated" a lot. I would not brag this.
