Please don't misunderstand me; I didn't say anything was invalid, just that all these things existed before the internet, and could exist without it in a less streamlined way. It's actual somewhat of an interesting topic when you think of it. Transport went from walking -> riding animals -> driving + flying. Communication went from talking -> moving physical messages -> radio -> telephone -> internet I wish hackernews forums fostered better discussions on topics that are out of date the way reddit might. Unlikely anyone will ever see this reply. Are there any good books that cover this sort of techno (r)evolution in depth?
