What Did People Do Before Smartphones?

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Yeah, but news papers are businesses that were built on paywalls. Want to get the NYT in 1990? Pay up, and they’ll deliver it in the morning.
Sadly, web advertising has not yielded the same revenue for newsrooms, and proper newsrooms and journalist have been downsizing and bleeding money for 20 years. So now they’ve brought back the paywalls that they had before the internet.
Newsroom should probably switch to nonprofits and do pledge drives. Go with the NPR model.
Or find the newspaper someone else was done with which was my way of doing things.
