I live in Canada (near the border), I have P.O. Box on the U.S. side and I have a bank account in a U.S. bank. I had no trouble opening it, and I use it to pay for many purchases I make from the U.S. (I can often get much better travel deals through sites like Priceline when I use a credit card with a U.S. billing address.)
So, I don't know what difficulty you're alluding to.
Interesting statement considering that U.S. banks don't allow accounts to be set up with PO Box addresses.
It doesn't need to be. It's still a history lesson. Not many young people would know that in the past you'd actually call a library to ask them questions. Heck, I'm 30 and I would have never considered calling them!
Of course only before the 70s did they actually answer the phone. Then came the tape players that just played a recording of the library hours.

And 15 years ago I bought a massive 2GB drive for $350.
4 years ago I bought a few 2TB drives for $69 each.. Then the prices sky rocketed and still haven't come back down to that price.

The option is given when you set up a device for iMessage. It explicitly asks how you want to be contacted. By number, by email(s)/AppleIDs, or all of the above
It does not. It only asks if you want to use OTHER ids that you have set up. Your phone number becoming an id isn't optional.
You can, just go into the imessage settings. In fact you are specifically asked if you want to add your phone number to imessage when you set up your phone.
Incorrect.
Your phone number is used to create an ID immediately when you turn on iMessage. You have no choice in the matter.
Plus you can always change it under "Send & Receive" in Message's settings is the Preferences app.
Incorrect.
You can change OTHER ids but the phone number id is greyed out and you can't deselect it.
The real issue is that you can't opt out of automatically having your phone number become and account/id in iMessage.
I want to use iMessage on my iPhone, but only with regular iCloud accounts, not with the phone number being used to create an account.
Unfortunately, the iOS team doesn't give the user that option.
4k is just a buzzword.
Maybe a buzzword for TV, but a 4k screen is really nice as a computer monitor!
Except for Game of Throne, and The Walking Dead, and True Blood, and The Good Wife, and Big Bang Theory and a whole host of other shows that somehow still get made and watched.
That's not "TV," it's cable.
Or do you think there will be a day you can 3D print a plastic chair that can support a person for $5?
Do you think 3D printing will always be limited to weak materials?
