Morning Scepticism: Digital

Infrastructure doesn't go in overnight, it takes time, energy and most of all money. Keeping telecommunications infrastructure at the bare minimum for what is necessary might seem like a sound idea, but it makes as much sense as building 2 lane highways even though congestion on that road in 2 years time means extra upkeep. One advantage we as conscious agents have over natural selection is future planning, it's not a waste if it's for an almost certain inevitability.
