Sir, – Des Doris, from the WiFi environs of Dún Laoghaire, writes, "Printed telephone directories. Why?" (October 3rd)
He may not be aware of the vast swathes of our “greatest little country in the world to do business” where, if you have an internet connection at all, waiting for a page to open in your browser and having a good night’s sleep could be described as “multi-tasking”. – Yours, etc,
