  1. Exactly. High glossiness. And if you think about the invention of the written word, that was it. Somebody writes it down, and then it is limited to that single copy being consumed. Then mention the printing press created this incredible distribution mechanism for that same data to be consumed. You look at the internet as another form of data transfer, data storage. One thing that I think is underexplored is the impact of data transfer speeds as actual why now reasons for companies existing. Let's look at mobile social networks and the order that they were founded in. So Twitter 2006, Instagram 2010, Snapchat 2011, maybe most recently TikTok nay musically in 2018.

  2. Because it took stored data and made it scalable to distribute. So all of a sudden, there wasn't one copy of one thing. There could be an infinite number of copies or a multitude of copies of the same thing. And so if you think about individual conversations as an amount of data that's being transferred, we're having this conversation right now. If it weren't recorded and it weren't distributed, the amount of surface area that that data could impact ends you and me in this conversation.

  3. Societal efficiency prevents us from reinventing the wheel time and time again. We can learn from other people's mistakes. And so one thing that's interesting to think about is songs. Songs as a compression algorithm for data. We are wired in a certain way to feel certain tunes being catchy and we can remember song lyrics. But if you think about it, the oldest forms of songs, poems, epics were meant to transfer data between people and across generations. It's this data compression algorithm and perhaps the original form of data storage. When we think about the advance of technology that have allowed us to create these step functions in data transfer and data storage, notably the written word, huge, huge advancement. The biggest change though happened with the invention of the printing press.

  4. Let me caveat this with it's probably in the bucket of half baked and still in the realm of theory and the world of audio files. There's this term called lossless where if you are an audio file buff, you're trying to get as close to the quote-unquote source or original thing as possible. And so compression algorithms are your enemy and it's what drives people to spend insanely ungodly sums of money on their audio setups. And I think this concept of lossless is really interesting as it Pertains to data and data transfer and what are high fidelity experiences, what are low fidelity experiences, what are lossless experiences. If we think about data between humans in the same generation, data across generations, information, the ability for us to transfer information, store it, and access it is so important to
