What Is Often Forgotten by D. B. Scott

Great blog post by D.B. Scott at Canadian Magazines. Here's an excerpt. Go here to read the entire entry.

"A question has to be not only how content creation gets paid for in money (an important, and so far unsolved issue), but also in time to do the work, the two being firmly linked. And the term 'content creation' takes in more than research and writing an article, but also designing and presenting it, which takes in illustration, photography and design, none of which can be done instantly or even much faster than they've ever been done. (For that matter, does it take any less time today than last year to set up a sales call, take a meeting and get a contract signed?)

What is often forgotten in a push-button society is that the human brain doesn't work much faster today than it did a few years ago; and that human conversation (a key component of an interview and research and sales transactions) proceeds at pretty much the same pace it always did."
