It is crazy that. For time immemorial we used to transmit information from our mouths or using hand signals, and receive that information through eyes and ears, all in realtime.

(side thought: how awesome would it be if we had a single organ for both? e.g. communication solely through blinking)

Then suddenly we have this system where someone can code meaning onto a sheet, and we can receive entire contexts from a glance alone, purely at our leisure. Nuts.

Also it's the one my parents talk about. They used to go out everyday and pluck food from the ground. Every day.

Fridge changed that overnight. Suddenly people had time to do other things (mostly chat with their friends in cafés)

I go to my uncle's house, and ask him "how long have you had ?" and if he says, "oh this old thing? I've had it since before you were-" then I ignore it.

if he shrugs, I buy it.
