Have you ever struggled getting some files from A to B? This email comic by XKCD shows
the many ways you can share a file with someone being advised on the phone, but the end solution is…unexpected.
Alt text: “Every time you email a file to yourself so you can pull it up on your friend’s laptop, Tim Berners-Lee sheds a single tear.”
Remember, Tim is the guy who invented the internet back in the early ’90s so you could do everything you do today on the internet.
