Nothing is truly new

A great commentary on how everything old is new again.

My friend Emmy Chang — formerly of National Review, now of Princeton — told me something hilarious. It is the best commentary on today’s gadgetry I have ever heard.

She was thinking about IM-ing, and she wondered whether you’d ever be able to give voice commands, to speak words, rather than typing them.

And then it occurred to her: “I’ve just reinvented the telephone.”
