Technology Comment

Since the "DOS" days, some things have obviously improved with computers. Clearly, the Internet was a dramatic improvement in terms of capability, as was the development of blogs, which made it easier to have one's own "mini" website. On the downside, while on the surface it may seem neat to litter up one's screen with so many moving images, links and so forth, I think it can detract from the quality of both thinking and presentation. Right now, with so many new technological "toys" there is a tendency to be baroque and rather gawdy. Hopefully, with time, the trend will change to emphasize quality of information and presentation rather than emphasizing quantity as it does now.
