  2. My favorite part of LinkNYC's expanded offering is that thing when you walk by a kiosk, it takes over your iPhone headphones with a friendly laundry reminder. The voice is so friendly. What will LinkNYC think of next?!

  3. When the need to get on the internet is very "pressing".

  4. I literally just got an idea for an app from this entry.

    Can anyone create it for me?

  5. In every LinkNYC puff piece (including the one in today's New York Times) they always tout the completely mundane features (free calls and wi-fi, direct line to 311 and social services) but I have assumed for a while that these things are really there to guide the self-driving cars that Alphabet (Google) has planned for our roads. Why don't they just own up to what their real primary purpose actually is? Are they afraid that then we will really reject them?
