Running for Your Life: Old School Tech

I thought came to me Tuesday (April 10) while watching (without sound) the hours and hours of testimony before Congress of one 33-year-old American, Mark Zuckerberg.

Good for Zuckerberg, I thought, to do the right thing and answer the call as a responsible citizen and face questions about the code and conduct of his company, Facebook.

With the sound off, I imagined my own script.

How about a return to a personal technology that offers zero threat to democratic elections and would restore a community of informed citizens that even a wooden fella like Mark Zuckerberg could enjoy?

As in, books. You know, old school technology, the printing press. The magic that a book can be.

Something like, say, GATEWAY TO THE MOON, by Mary Morris https://amzn.to/2H8Ckr0.

Just a thought. To leave Silicon Valley for the Promised Land of books.

Let Mark and Co. trade that data.
