Reply to comment by ValyrianJedi in New 'biohybrid' implant will restore function in paralyzed limbs | "This interface could revolutionize the way we interact with technology." by chrisdh79

A city guide is not a phone book. Nor is it the reason people stopped using them. But alright whatever.

It was literally marketed as a replacement for phone books and functioned as a phone book with more information and resources.

Yeah alright. But don’t say he revolutionized this thing or that thing. He didn’t. He came from a wealthy family, made more money, and invested in other companies that made even more money. Stop acting like this dude Toby Stark or something. This is the same dude that somehow found a way to make twitter an even bigger dumpster fire. So there’s that.

So now you're jumping to some entirely different argument to complain about. Kinda sounds like you just weren't aware that zip2 existed and are now scrambling to refuse to admit you were wrong... Also having a really tough time figuring out how you think "he came from a wealthy family" means that he isn't Tony Stark... Think thats my cue to stop responding to you.

You’re reading comprehension is clearly shit. My whole point from the beginning is that he hasn’t revolutionized anything. That’s why I called Zip2 into question. No, I don’t know wtf that is or I wouldn’t have asked. But hey, if you enjoy publicly sucking off wealthy tax dodgers who take away from public funds and programs, by all means. Just do us all a favor and take it to twitter where that bullshit belongs.

I’m sure your idol will appreciate it.

I mean, the fact that basically nobody remembers Zip2 in 2023 really speaks to just how revolutionary it was.
