The tech industry and its press have treated the rise of billion-scale social networks and ubiquitous smartphone apps as an unadulterated win for regular people, a triumph of usability and empowerment.

Komu is a revival of the style of letters that was frequently used on billboards during the socialist period in the former Czechoslovakia. They were usually uppercase letters made of paper and covered with a layer of aluminum foil. People just had to pick the letters (that included a variety of widths and sizes) out of a box and pin them up on a styrofoam billboard, thus making it easy to announce any event.
