This is an old tune I've heard many times before. Forty years ago, we were told that the only font we'd be allowed to use is one that can be scanned by machines. Ten years ago we were told that we had to change our handwriting to accommodate machines. Then we needed to talk differently, and so on and so forth. The thing is, by the time the technology actually arrives it can adapt to us or we discover the real truth that it's rubbish and have nothing to do with it.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
