Tim RichardsNice piece. Phones are damn useful, but use could be wound back a bit - especially by those people reading social media posts while walking along footpaths. I do notice a lot more young people reading print books at the local swimming pool (which I don't even do, I use a Kindle). --- What are smartphones stealing from us?

In my area they mail them to certain neighborhoods where the geriatric boomer brigades and the hippy generation are known to still reside. The last place I lived 4 years ago they still delivered them every year. In my new place they don't deliver to my neighborhood. For everyone else you need to order them, and they are only available for certain areas. I surmise that the print phone books will never be completely extinct. They are critical infrastructure if the data grid goes down in some disaster. There are still millions of active copper phone lines across the country, and the way they were buried, it should be another two generations before all that copper corrodes. I have lines that are 50 years old and still in good condition. It is just sitting there, waiting in case it is ever needed. <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=yellowpages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#YellowPages</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=whitepages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WhitePages</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=phonebooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PhoneBooks</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=telephones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Telephones</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=phones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Phones</a> <a href="https://soc.octade.net?t=retrotech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroTech</a>

OCTADEMy cellular carrier won't let me send email to my own SMS email. They will of course offer a paid service that will allow me to email my own phone. I also have a paid, parked, Internet SMS number. The entire industry got together, decided that we are not allowed to send SMS messages anymore, and offered plans to pay $20 a month to use a SMS TEXT number that we're ALREADY PAYING FOR. They are literally converting a free service that has been free since forever, and arbitrarily adding mail servers to their blocklist for no reason. Then they are taking the paid service, and saying, pay us $20 more per month for your SMS, and we'll let you actually use it.
