264533 Mark Pfeifer <markpfeifer@i...> 2018‑01‑01 Re: Slightly OT - except for who we are
I’m mid vintage online.

 I worked in books back then. 

I remember publishers wringing their hands about the death of books, the end of
creativity, and the destruction of the free exchange of ideas.

Then Amazon made money....selling books, and the publishers kowtow to Amazon. 

I remember when Google was trying to outdo Jeeves. 

The comfort I take in this is that when our every fact is known, and people can
be fed new ones so very easily, war as the 20th century knew it is probably out
of date. Cold comfort, but comfort anyway.
