But, yet, yet, yet: one thing we know [[technology]] will do is lower the barriers to interaction and communication. And one thing we know that the great huddled masses of mercantile foot-soldiers like to do is ''talk'' — as much as possible, and about as little of moment as possible. Visit [[LinkedIn]], or [[Twitter]] if you really need persuading of this. There is an equilibrium of sorts between the need to get stuff done and the need to vent your own opinions, and until that [[Tim Berners-Lee|Berners-Lee]] fellow ruined everything, it was set quite delicately at a place where, for most of us, while achieving anything was hard, finding people to listen to your opinions was even harder, so we spent most of our time in morose silence slugging away at a hard rockface with an old, soft-bristled, toothbrush. We had collected enough chips of slate to keep our employers happy and take a bit home to keep the hungry mouths around the Formica table passably filled with baked beans. | |||
