7/13 If you want to #attack me, you probably know my name.
My home address and my phone number are both listed beside my name in the "phone book" (kids, ask your parents about this). They're also available #online, from the phone book company or various others.
So all of that is extremely problematic.
But it gets worse.
Time to show your tech age or perhaps just how blessed your upbringing was.

Thanks to modern technology, being able to rip a Glasgow phone directory in half with your bare hands isn't nearly as impressive a feat of strength as it was in my youth (bonus points if you're old enough to remember when such things used to feature on Saturday night prime time television!).

The new project is providing some interesting images.
All the slide mount says is: 1988.
I am guessing it is somewhere around Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Not sure why their photo was taken. Must need to do some serious sleuthing.

@Marcociappelli @Helen50 @neilhimself As for #phonebook, I’d go for Bedford Falls, 1945, and #audiobook, James Joyce’ Ulysses (which I have listened to, possibly in its entirety). #ulysses

Here's the local white-plus-some-yellow pages from 1990. It's tough to get a good photo; who knows how many years this relic has spent molded to the inside of a drawer. Check out that sweet digital design, with fiber strands just bursting forth out of #Tennessee.

"It may be hard to believe, but there was once a time on the internet before #Google existed. In those dark times, when you wanted to look for something, you had to use a site like #WebCrawler, #Lycos, #AltaVista (unless you live and Pawnee and are still using it), and #yahoo .
Yahoo back then wasn’t so much a search engine, as it was a #phonebook. It was a #hierarchical listing of #websites grouped together by #subject.

@CKsTechNews Therefore, the first question to ask anyone before we give our phone number to should be: how many apps and which ones have #permission to access your #phonebook.
Only two have permission to access my phonebook (on #android ): signal, phone
