This is so absolutely amazingly ungrateful. Millions of people have labored lifetimes to give you a gift from the gods that you buy for a weeks' wage & put in your pocket, and which connects you to infinite libraries...and you add your own innovation on top? No, you piss on them

I lived in the 70s and 80s. We were isolated from everyone. We begged parents to drive us an hour to the nearest university library to flip through 2 or 3 books on some esoteric topic like "geology" or "chemistry" for an hour. We watched one nature documentary a week on tv.

The mall had a shitty Waldenbooks. It had 3 shelves of science fiction, and 3 shelves of science. And if you shoveled a lot of driveways, you could walk away with STACKS of books.
