"Against"? Well, hardly. As I said, the modern industrial condition is nothing if not a
massive party of waste. Almost everything we do recreationally, by volume, is voluntary waste.
What sense would it make to worry about wasted bits when we're drowning in wasted physical
goods?

Comparison between phones and letters is not apt as phone calls are just transient energy
signals, not physical objects. Phone calls vs. the same message expressed as dense text codes?
Sure, absolutely wasteful. Why do you think phone networks are so much more happy to carry SMS
over voice streams? They charge you similar "get the message through" rates (say, a dime)
while saving almost all of the cost of transmission. When videophones are the default, heaven
forbid, "voice only" calls will be cheaper too, and text will carry even fatter margins.

Anyways, if it gives you hope for the future, don't let me interfere. I'll stick with text as
long as I can, but I'm a cave-person.
