Ciao Chuck Part of it is technology.
Technology is great but every new level increases complexity. I tend to favour (hand) WRITING as its a pretty nice technology since decent graphite came along. Though chalk was awful. But sure, the printing press, later, did allow me to reproduce some pamphlets so more than Mildred could read them. With the advent of the internet I did think, for a while, that reproduction got even cheaper & effective. Well IT DID. But it is SERIOUSLY INSUFFICIENT. The problem is/was the SWAMP effect. Now, Mildred spends much of her time reading the "The Lost Cat Columns" rather than yours truly.
