"A computer lets you make mistakes faster than any other invention in history with the exception of hand guns and tequila."
I laughed when I read this one morning when I was perusing my journals of old. I don't know where the quote comes from, but if you apply it to emails or now the pervasive Facebook postings it certainly is true. How often was something misstated or without the context of personal interface misinterpreted? That is not to say, the same errors couldn't occur in slower forms of communication, I think the current world of dashing off comments in the moment of anger, laughter, disappointment, hope, disapproval is a slippery slope!
