You know how it is, it's a Saturday so you go out into the garden for a quick interface with nature before the next 10 hr Fortnite / Netflix combo binge to find your dog has left numerous piles of digested food all over the place. What do you do? Get online to AirTasker to post a job requesting someone come over to pick up the shit. Yes, seriously, that's what they do these days when help is just a click away. Need a pack of ciggies but are "too unwell" to go get them for yourself? Airtasker! Need a couple of vibrators in a hurry? Yep, someone on there will help you. For a price. Just when we thought with Facebook that humanity had hit rock bottom. How low can we go?

I sometimes think of the mobile/pre-mobile world.
This morning, I got up, read the newspaper on the toilet. I then took some of the papers from my outbox, rifled through them, and composed a memorandum to a colleague. I then put on some records for my progeny to enjoy while dressing.
The "book of local service providers, supported by ads" business model went *directly* to the internet without modification.
