Technology
Feb. 20th, 2010 10:03 pmWhile struggling with the ink for calligraphy pens that will get all over your hands (and table, paper, and whatever is handy), I have come to the conclusion that while the the copperplate script is very pretty, technology isn't always bad.
It's a common curse to say: "Oh, useless technology!" and forget that really, it's very useful most of the time. I mean, can you imagine a world without scissors? (The prospect, I daresay, is horrifying. I think.) Or if we were still with the printing press? With the painstakingly set pages? We just like to complain, that's all.
