Thou shalt not speak

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

Sometimes it feels like no one can be bothered to explain things anymore. A common answer to questions on forums and in discussions over instant-messaging is to google it.

Sure enough, most answers can be found on google. And most of the time the search and subsequent intake of information will take less time then actually typing up an explanation.

So are we losing a form of communication or will this create a whole new level of discussion where, like Vulcans we will focus on the subject at hand, rather then the explanation of concepts that should already be familiar to participants? Perhaps a balance will be struck between the two sides?

I can’t wait to see the outcome.
