These days, I keep thinking about the old short story "The Machine Stops." It was eerily prescient.

I wonder how many tech bros haven't read it... or read it and missed the point.

Project Gutenberg has it available here (first tale in the anthology): https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/72890

Hiti

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
