  • 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?

  • Good luck to San Francisco!!

  • 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!

  • Gotta say this is pretty great. And the valid points just pile up.

    Good stuff dave!
