Tools Of The Trade

[Today a guest snoozer, written by my girlfriend]

Once upon a time, all people needed to do their jobs was a brain, a phone, a pen or a pencil, and perhaps an abacus. Then a typewriter was invented, and everyone was so happy because they could get rid of their pens and pencils. Then a calculator was invented and everyone was so happy because they could get rid of their abaci. Then the computer was invented and everyone was so happy because they could get rid of their typewriters and their calculators. Then e-mail was invented. And everyone was so happy because they could get rid of their phones AND their brains.

Zzzzz...

  1. Do you mean people were actually using their brain for work?! Lives were sure tough in the old days.
    That gray material seems too soft to make durable tools, and you need a lot of it to fill gaps between breaks. Is that the reason houses were so tiny before the big immigration waves?
