Computers Revolutionize the Way We Work

I wonder if Parker, Cross, or any other pen makers experienced a dizzying dip in sales during the past two decades. There used to be a time when the pen, paper, and the writer made a very beautiful ensemble as far as weaving words was concerned. Nowadays, journalism is an inkless and paperless profession or endeavor.

The computer has greatly revolutionized the way book-writing is done. Keyboards are the new pens. I think the only time John Grisham or Stephen King use their pens which involve their books is when they’re being asked to sign it.

Some say that the computer has dulled the minds of writers. I’m not saying that I agree with their observation, but indeed, current word processors have already taken some of the tasks that pen pushers are admired for. For one thing, many readers put writers at a pedestal for their great mastery of the dictionary. Of course, this admiration is slowly drying out. Everybody could be a quiz bee champion now with the incorporated spelling or word checkers in word processors.

The evolution that computers have sparked has taken a lot of weight off of people. However, some say that it just made them lazy. But if you’re going to ask me, the PC is no different than the old tools that man used in pursuing their profession or other activities. Computers are still just instruments which help man in realizing the things that he want to create or accomplish.
