> On the subject of red staplers, why has the post WWII workplace insisted on mono-color conformity? I'm a little out of my league here but I believe there was a movement during early-mid last century in this direction. It was felt that uniformity/conformity was more democratic and free of class distinctions. That's why you'll see rows and rows of houses that look identical. (There's a mass-production thing going on there too, but that's a different story.) You could be richer or poorer than your neighbor but it wouldn't matter because you lived in the same place.
I've been implementing ERP systems for several years now, here's how it usually goes... A good organization can successfully implement and use a bad ERP program. A bad organization can botch implementation and use of a good ERP program.
It's always the people and organizational commitment that is the key.
This is the best comment on this topic I've read yet.
I believe the next "need" will be voice recogition. (Although I wouldn't be surprised if VR gets its own processor when it starts popping.) I'm also thinkin' we'll need a lot more than 1Ghz to do it.

...cannot do now because the ratio of sickos/idiots to normal has over tripled...
I doubt that this ratio has ever changed. But I do believe that our paranoia about sickos/idiots has probably tripled since the 70's.
There's nothing weird about that at all. It just means that you're too close to the center of the T - F spectrum to make a call.
I just thought of it as a book review.
