Muse, sing
the Electronic Revolution! No more paper to push, she cries. Info flows right to our screens. “How neat! Let's share it! Print it out!” Info flows off screen, into printer. On paper, we rout it to friends. |
Email—Boss:
“Paper use up— what gives?” Trade looks. “You know?” “Not I.” We nod sagely. “Important. All must see!” Print, with note: “This must cease!” Run off fifty! Distribute broadly! Thus we save the Electronic Revolution. |
