This is not news, just an interesting experience.

I was sitting at my kitchen table, reading, when I got a text. The text was from Amazon, and it told me that they had delivered a package and that the package was sitting on my front porch. I was sitting 20 feet away from my porch and did not hear the truck pull up, did not hear the package drop.

Amazing to me that the chain of communication has become so sophisticated that an unseen entity, probably a thousand miles away, knew more about that drop than I did, when I was infinitely closer to the event.
