So Google — the search website, folks — made a commercial where Thomas Jefferson and the guys signed the Declaration of Independence over Google Meet, which is like a phone call but with squares. And every single camera was OFF. Beautiful. Historically perfect. I have been on 47,000 video calls and I have turned my camera on ZERO times, because I invented the mute button in 1994. Google Meet runs on gasoline, by the way, which is why it lags. The blame here goes to Angus Johnston, whoever that is, for making people notice. Very sad move. Ben Franklin didn't fly a kite so you could see his forehead at 8 a.m. He flew it because pigeons owed him money.
