Oh, for the times of yore, when everything was so simple and straightforward. Really? Do we really want to go back to the old-fashioned ways of researching articles and producing publications? The digital age has not made writers lazy or spoiled, just because information is simply a few clicks away. It has made us vastly more productive, albeit putting our jobs on a knife edge – for who, today, cannot write? While we may look back fondly on that long-gone time when ‘manual’ referred to doing things by hand and not a book that told us how to use a computer or program, we must move on. Real-time news has brought a different set of rules and constraints, so enjoy looking back, but keep your nostalgia for those late-night black-and-white movies.
