Good video, the Yellow Pages charge a lot of money for advertising in there phone book. Its stupid, being a mobile DJ the majority of my work comes from online searches ect. Stupid and should stop!
Why do you have all those CD's and books behind you? You're online now! Everyone is online now! Anyone that has an internet connection hasn't bought a CD or book since like 1996! Your argument against phone books is environmental. However, if the internet were a country it would be the 5th largest consumer of electricity; a huge environmental impact. Where does that electricity come from? Look at the facts and you'll see phone books are friendlier on the environment than the internet...
@TheThoraxis Those CDs and books were collected before better technologies were available. I'm gradually recycling those items and now I'm collecting more sensible products (like MP3s and e-books). Thank you for asking.
@TheThoraxis Considering the volume of information distributed online, the internet is many-thousands-of-times more effecient than all print media before it. Electrical consumption per data-packet is diminishing exponentially as digital storage & network tech improves. In 1993, a 20 MEGAbyte hard drive plugged into a 120v circuit in my home; now on the same circuit I have 20 TERAbytes. Phone books are more evironmentally-friendly? That's the most ignorant thing I've heard all year! Think much?
