So will your Veldt have a mailbox? Well most houses need one. You get
spam in them unless to ask the post office to not send any spam.

And the post office mysteriously knows what spam is in general, because
in general they are paid to deliver it.

What if you want to spam a mailbox at someone's Veldt? Well don't give
your cell phone number to telemarketers unless you want to be called by
them and so don't give away your stamps or change them when needed but
its like a cell phone, you want calls from your friends, but get a
little annoyed when on roaming at 2 bucks or 3 bucks a minute someone is
trying to sell you a special offers on pencils that will save you 20
cents. The call just cost you 60 bucks.

You have caller ID too.

Text the box, if you want, your AI assistant can watch for mail.
But we learned about publishing our email addresses in the wrong place
and had to fight that push business quite a bit on the web didn't we?

You want to be able to have your cell phone and various other real world
thing work with this new technology the problems will be similar, but we
should try to make it better than it is.

I hate email now. I don't even have an account.

I have no land line that I use. I don't like people trying to sell me
stuff on the phone they are con men. You just won a trip to what???
You are the ...haven't we seen all that time and again?

Where do you sell stuff? Then go over there with the rest of the
salesmen and stop trying to infect the happy places of the people.

Yes you will see ads in your little hologram world there beside your
monitor, unless you block them because the people who have the power,
have the power of advertising and marketing and they will get a
Leprechaun in there entertaining you and you will eat that cereal,
because humans are like that.

I am maybe the only person who gets annoyed when while watching a film
someone interrupts and changes the subject every 10 minutes.

I don't know but since this is what we have to work with and these are
the hands we're given, what will be, will be.
