I think not only has manufacturing gone away, as well as the supply chain, but also choice. The moment you want something slightly different than what is sold in the typical big bo…

The Canadian movie Goin' Down the Road (1970), is related to this. It's fictional, but seemed to capture the less rosy aspects of that time.

How would you download all the English books in, .pdf format, printed from 1800 to 1900 - as those are legal to download? What size of storage would you need?

I think that there is something else happening. We as a society don't really recognize industrial design. Some Youtube channels like 'Technology Connections' does. Perhaps in the f…

If feel that with Youtube you get a touch of the Zeitgeist. There are some milquetoast channels like 'Hoovie's Garage', 'Rich Rebuilds', that tap into what average people are inter…

He really are.

Academic speak has always been bad, and judging from this article it is only getting worse. Tone it down. I shouldn't need a Rosetta Stone to decipher your paper. Also, the levels …
