Communication between engineers was often verbal commands or mild insults like this one. Indeed; try suggesting any circuit-switched solution with Vint Cerf in the room and see what happens!
- FireBeyond 3y agoReminds me of this Dilbert cartoon (https://buffer.com/resources/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Dilbert.gif https://buffer.com/resources/content/images/wp-content/uploa...): Dilbert: My company asked all employees to act as salespeople to friends and family. I think you could use this, Mom. Dilbert's Mom: Why would I need a primary rate circuit? I've already got a frame relay drop to my web server in the sewing room. Dilbert [thinking]: This is going to be a tough sale. Dilbert's Mom: Hello-o-o! Earth to Dilbert! This is packet data!
