I got to thinking once again about how computers have changed the way we engineers communicate in writing and in planning presentations.

On the one hand, computers have given us this vast freedom of expression, but at the same time they have established a pattern of conformity that has narrowed the range of expression to a tiny sliver.

In the future, perhaps the paper clip will ask whether you would prefer this in the style of Hemingway, or perhaps in the style of Dickens.
