ruminations about architecture and design

the information age reconsidered

Cardboard may be the most important component of the internet age. I cannot think of a cost effective substitute--and while I am sure that there are people employed by Amazon who are planning for a future where there are substitutes--cardboard is the king of online retail. I tried to find a graph that charts cardboard production worldwide, but didn't turn up anything that was free.

I cite this as another example of terminal design.

I wish that I could explaing to Google that "internet" is not a proper name and does not need to be capitalized like the spell check function suggests.
