Because we're social creatures. A single human, even with a crude club or spear, would quickly get eaten by a saber-toothed tiger. A bunch of humans, working together, would kill and eat the tiger.
But I hate storing them. My house is full of old books. It would probably explode if I bought any more. I can buy ebooks without adding to the pile. I can also read anything in my growing e-library, on the road on my iPhone. With books, I'm limited to what I can carry with me.
However, those ARE exceptions, and not everyday occurrences. And they have never been shown to lessen the severity of, much less cure, colds and the like.
It seems to help me. I've found that with Vitamin C, I get over a bad cold in 14 days. Without the C, it takes a whole two weeks.
Mine are under "Settings->Notifications". I scroll all the way to the bottom and see Amber Alert and Emergency Alert. The Presidential Alert isn't visible.
In this case, the new "feature" added to some phones recently are on my default and most don't even know about the feature or that it was pushed to them.
When my AT&T iPhone was updated, I got some message about updating carrier settings, but it didn't say what it was. Nothing about Amber Alerts, and certainly nothing about turning them off.
We all have monkey brains, given the right stimulus, we'll all turn into raging murderers. They'll most likely find that we all have propensity for violence.
For one thing, while my internet is reliable, it's not 100%. I can work on my local copy whether the internet is up or down.
Also, I have multiple copies of my data. The cloud, but also my desktop and my laptop. If the cloud disappears in a puff of smoke, I still have my data.
Last, but not least, there's some data I don't want in the cloud.
I live very near a high school and go to work in the dark. It seems like most of the kids like dark clothes and cross in the middle of the street without warning. It makes me wonder how many of them actually survive to adulthood.
Try to find a machine without Windows 8 on it, if you can do so. That way you don't pay Microsoft any money for their misbegotten operating system. This is becoming ridiculously difficult to do and can only get harder as time goes by.
IME, the targeted ads are only slightly better than the random stuff. Lately, I've been getting a lot of ads for stuff I recently bought. Obviously, I'm interested, but I've already bought the damn product!

I certainly remember some damn cold winters back then. But I also remember some damn hot summers.
Really, they prioritize singing? Probably hymns.
More likely, country music.
Or, to treat students worse.

In Kansas, you practically have to wait in line for 6 months!

Yes, but new pones don't have the ability of wake up from poweroff for alarms.
And if they did, they'd probably wake for Amber Alerts.
Sounds like the email at work. Most of it is stuff that has no relevance to me. I probably have a dozen that I haven't read yet.
By any chance, would this be anywhere near Uranus?

As long as they give me bananas, I'm happy.
Well, I suppose if I pick a fight with someone, and he slams my head into the pavement, I'd have the proper bumps for violence. :-P
Or, on the other side, did you hear of Reagan? Unless you watched "Bedtime for Bonzo".
It must be, considering how many people I wouldn't vote for for it.
I'm not a Doctor Who fan, and when I first heard "The Doctor", I thought of the holographic Doctor on Star Trek Voyager.
At the least, I'm sure there's no life on Uranus.
I work on Cobol systems where the documentation has literally yellowed and begun to disintegrate.
I have too. And that was in 1986!
But, there's no way it replaces my Hard Drive.

From what I hear about Chicago, Afghanistan would be a step up.
Nor do any of the computers at WorstBuy come pre-loaded with Linux.
