i would question how much it has displaced books versus the general literacy rates among the populations, sure there were more books, but if only 10-20% could actually read, does that make difference? I grew up mostly on tv, and i learned a lot of from it, simpsons taught me a lot about world culture, norm macdonald taught me not to give a shit about the news narrative and say what is real, and thousands of other references that went over my head but still contributed to my understanding of the way fo things. its an interesting question presently becasue we literally have unfettered access to all knowledge in our pockets and dont even know how to read.

you guys dont understand the dedication that goes into not only getting the sunday paper to get the tv guide, getting all the non repeat episodes timed into the vcr for the week, hoping there was an easterly wind to help with reception and there were no overtimes, keeping a stack of organized blank vcr tapes and loading those in prior to the bus showing up so you could fast forward thru commercials.

thats an interesting take, developers are demanded to also become fractional CTO, there is probably a larger than estimated knowledge and experience gap there and unless you have the knack for managing people you probably run into more problems that you are used to being a code jockey

noice, i respect a follow up that is honest about limits of their opinion and their knowledge. Opinion, i do think boeing should be partly absorbed, but i also believe this about certain foods that are on the store shelves for certain periods of time. Sort of like generic but publicly managed to an extent, keep competition open while maintaining security over long established and basics of human need and advancement
