I recently read a programming book on Go [1] and this book reminded me of the pleasure of reading a programming book cover to cover. For a reader whose purpose is not to just get through the coursework (as in a graduate school), a well written programming book can be as pleasurable a read (if not more) than the most gripping novel. The author's style of writing has a lot to do with the readability of a programming book. I think.
It sounds like you had the good fortune of reading a well-written book. Any well-written book, regardless of subject matter, will be a pleasure to read cover to cover.
Note that Verizon has a division - Product Innovation and New Business - that is run separate from the telco business that you are mentioning.
In recent years Verizon has acquired technology companies EdgeCast Networks (CDN) and upLynk (Video Streaming) which form the core of Verizon's Digital Media Services [1].
Combining these assets with AOL (AdTech) and Yahoo (if the deal happens) gives Verizon an end-to-end platform for the creation, delivery and monetization of content (with focus on video) in the Internet.
Disclosure: I work at EdgeCast and we operate as a technology company, hate bureaucracy and try very hard to innovate and stay agile.
Yeah, this is all about digital media. Cross device tracking (see aol deal) will be helped by this purchase and tying it in for a video platform with those ridiculously high video CPMs seems to be what they are going for.
I know Edgecast well, I worked on a couple of projects for you guys. I remember being very surprised on hearing the Verizon acquisition news since EC was such lean and nimble engineering shop. It's good to hear your feedback and that its business as usual post acquisition. Great company and great CDN.
Samsung generates a lot of sensor/IoT type of data (e.g. smart phones, smart TVs, medical, industrial). They'll need the infrastructure to process and store all these data.
It would certainly free up a lot of land which is currently being wasted on parking lots. I wonder if there will be a time when most people don't own a car, but instead they use a rideshare like that.
Self-driving Ubers need cleaning and ensuring safety. Without cabbies to take care of that, I think that's a major reason owning a car still has value - it's a private space.

EdgeCast is a CDN operating a global network of SuperPoPs. We do a lot of work in media streaming to deliver videos and music for customers like Hulu and Spotify.
I'm part of the Infrastructure Engineering team and we are hiring Python and Clojure hackers to work on building and scaling out our telemetry, monitoring and automation platforms.
