Hi! I’m reviewing The Curse of Bigness by Tim Wu today. This is a great book that everybody should read. Everybody, because it concerns us all. It’s about antitrust law and it’s a short, concise, sensible explanation of the law, its history, why it was enacted, why the antitrust laws were enacted, and how they have been completely changed in meaning over the years.
Typewriters that Keep You Focused
When I began writing as more than a hobby, I was in college as a journalism student. Everything I wrote I composed on a typewriter. It was a cheap piece of shit an inexpensive model, but it got the job done.
Then, somewhere in the mid- to late-80s, I bought a word processing computer. It was a Wang. (Yes, really!) It was like magic. No more need for Wite-Out or re-typing documents.
Somewhere along the line, in the early 90s (I guess), the Internet came along, with all its attendant resources and distractions. But I only used email until the late 90s, when I hopped online and began using social media.
