“For example, most of the people you deal with have three phone numbers: work, fax, and home. Now you want to enter a new person into your list. This person has a car phone.” From “The Contact Management World Is No Longer Flat”, p.21 of the PowerBook Palace MacMall catalog, Winter #1993/#1994 I remember before #mobile #phone #numbers were even considered in designs, and we are approaching a future where phone numbers are becoming as obsolete as fax machines. Nevermind this essentially pre-web article also being wrong about "flat file systems" — all the problems mentioned have been solved since then with markup and microformats. #history #technology #obsolescence #assumptions #badassumptions #workphone #fax #homephone #carphone #phonefree #future #nofilter
