in the early days, humans supposedly stored food surplus in each other's stomachs – I can't eat the whole deer I just hunted, so I share my deer with you today, you share your deer with me tomorrow IMO the best place to store information surplus is in each other's minds

Visakan Veerasamy @visakanvMy verdict: the jetpack of 2020 is a network of smart friends who care about you and will provide you with interesting and relevant information about anything you ask for.
