Who remembers when CRT
meant cathode ray tube?

That vacuum was repackaged
as an echo chamber, then touted

as progress. A new generation

Now it even fits in our pockets.

This is good. Really good.

Beautiful!!!

There's a delightful, second layer of physics irony in a vacuum being repackaged as an echo chamber.
