This is the part where ~60 billion dollars from brands moves through the hands of the agencies, who give it to the networks. $60 billion a year. This is not done with spreadsheets and algorithms. It’s done with parties, alcohol, steak, and big musical numbers —all at a scale you’d find shocking. I like all...

The first time I put on a walkman on and walked down the street
The first time I recorded a sound on my mac and played it back
The first time I played a synthesizer
The first time I used a cordless phone
The first time I tapped a BASIC program out of A+ magazine into my Apple II
The first time I dialed into a BBS
The first time I saw an Osborne 1...
