Sometimes nothing works. In fact, “sometimes” often seems “all the time.” The digital revolution has bequeathed a welter of new “systems” to cover nearly all of human activity. Something, alas, always goes wrong — the Internet salesperson doesn’t know that his company doesn’t ship to a post office box, or the delivery courier, even with his Global Position System reader insists an address, where the addressee has lived for 40 years, doesn’t exist. Telephone directories have disappeared, replaced by expensive “information” web sites that often display wrong numbers. The instructions for reading telephone messages appears to have been (badly) translated from modern Japanese or ancient Greek.
