Spaw has a good point. It is true there is an advantage in productivity to be bale to communicate rapidly in fast-changing situations. But the good thing about the older slower model Spaw reminisces about is that when you weren't constantly hooking up and swapping viewpoints, youhad to think responsibly. The advantages to decision making and production get offset by the trend to mass-think, where instead of analyzing and deciding people ruslte up some group agreement and get a half-baked answer multiplied by 30!! Sometimes talking to others is just the wrong thing to do!
