Great comic/subject. Back in the day, we’d usually look it up in a handy encyclopedia at home or maybe call and speak with someone at the reference desk at the local library, as we lived out in the boonies.
Reminds me of when U.S. Cellular was trying to get me to trade in my old 3G phone, as more and more towers were converted to 4 & 5G…I guess. They literally sent me more and more “threatening” letters, demanding that I upgrade, warning me of loss of services, 911 service, etc. But I really liked my little Android phone and didn’t want to part with it. After about 2 years, I finally relented, but only because by then I actually was losing more and more service and didn’t want to end up stranded somewhere without the ability to call for help. That was late summer of 2023 and I absolutely hate my new phone and all the needless garbage that comes with it. It’s so big and heavy and doesn’t so easily fit in my pocket the way my old phone did. Maybe it’s time for one of them thar little Crickets or Jitterbugs or whatever sort of phone they have for old fogies like me who mostly just uses a phone to CALL and, yes, I do even text quite a bit. Sigh, technology, me hates it more and more.
