A comment on Cal Newport on an industrial revolution for office work. Parent comment
Today it is a platform that supports all kinds of various business workflows. You can run a business via email alone. It sucks but you can do it.
What's interesting is that these workflows are all in conventions and human protocols and not encoded in email itself.
Email can be seen as a big send and store packet which requires human decoding. Anyone has a public address which you can send to etc...
Anyway, interesting way to think about it.
