“Oh no, there’s a spelling mistake in your presentation!”<\/p>
“Don’t worry, I’ll just go into the file right now and fix it, it’ll take two seconds and then I’ll be ready for the presentation.”<\/p>
You write in pencil, make a mistake, erase it and fix it within seconds. You type sentence, make a mistake, delete it and fix it within seconds.<\/p>
You write in pen, make a mistake, and can either cross it out and correct it on that paper or start over on a new blank piece of paper. You print a poster, make a mistake, and you do not have time to fix it in the file and send it to the printer to reprint… Hopefully you have enough time to fix a mistake made in pen or on a printed poster.<\/p>
Is it too abstract to make a connection between pencils and computers? Maybe, but the thread of similarity I see is efficiency in production and presentation.<\/p>
