a quick post this morning…

i was talking to my moms a couple weeks ago, and she told me how for the last twenty years, every time she receives a fax at work, she’s blown away that someone can put a piece of paper in their fax machine hundreds of miles away, and within minutes it arrives in her office.

that got me thinking about the marvels of digital communication: instant messaging, e-mailing, cold-caking. i realized that i find regular mail MUCH more unbelievable than e-mail. e-mail makes perfect sense to me. however, how the fuck i put something in the postbox and it arrives across the country (or across the world) in a matter of days is beyond me. And they were doing this shit like a hundred years ago! Think about that next time you want to complain about the price of stamps.
