Humans have been around for tens of thousands of years and we are still burning fossil fuels and exchanging information by the means of painting pieces of wood.

Humans have been around for tens of thousands of years and we are still burning fossil fuels and exchanging information by the means of painting pieces of wood. Fascinating.
- rjohnk 13y agoI've always found this type of comment interesting. It assumes that we are supposed to "be" more advanced than we actually are. Time or our date of existence doesn't mean too much in the end.
- goldenkey 13y agoWe're also using remote-controlled stealth fighter planes to bomb dissenting peoples out of existence. With pin-point accuracy through gps, gyroscopes, and million dollars worth of tech. I'd say there's more pressing priorities than using organic renewable paper to exchange information..E-ink looks like crap. I know a bunch of people who prefer to read without a backlight, and e-ink doesn't cut it either. I'm really surprised many HNers are saying they would read a book on an iPad..all I can say is good luck with their vision after 20+ books read. They might need an eye doctor.
