Everything everywhere is destined to break at the touch of a button. This is the world we now live in.
Computer's crash, train's don't run on time and the more you shout, scream and put people in giant wicker effigies over it, the more likely things are to go belly up.
Computers were built like a fantabuolous house of cards; in a perfect world they are amazing, if somewhat more useful than a house of cards, but one strong gust of wind or sleight change and....ERROR ERROR ERROR ERR:1287 ERR:5637, 'CAN NOT READ DISK', 'DO YOU WANT TO REBOOT: YES OR YES?', 'EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE IS LOST', 'YOUR LIFE IS POINTLESS', 'THE END IS NIGH'.
When it comes down to it, in all honesty, pencils are brilliant.
There is the old addage that the Americans spent billlions and billions of dollaradoos on creating some fandangled pen that could write in space/upside/on God's face and do you know what those pesky Russians took upon their spaceship to the moon?
Pencils.
You can't go wrong.
It snaps, get another. It goes blunt, sharpen it.
Need the news? Buy a newspaper. And use your trusty pencil to fill in the crossword...mmmh...solution!
Trust me, you won't spend your Sunday in Comet explaining to mouth-breathing Gavin that the PCP Port is clogged with your innerds after you physically attacked the bastard when it finally caught up to your fumbling and tried to simultaneously open 8,000 windows and had what can only be described as an electro-stroke.
Let the luddites reform; we're bringing back the pencil.
