The argument that technology makes people stupid, keeps them from thinking, makes them lazy, or otherwise detracts from the quality of their work is an old and tired one. People allow themselves to become sloppy, and their work less substantive, by their own volition. People, not technology, are their own worst enemy.

McCain/Palin ads have horrible letter spacing.

I think it's great, because it helps you think about the end product especially if you are going on sheet fed press, and it teaches you control. Then after that point you can use your control on other tools. Just like in a darkroom there is a certain spirit same thing with letter press, if for nothing else but history use it once.

I love how we blame our laziness on other things outside of ourselves.

I appreciate the beauty of the lithograph machine, and I do feel that computer's can make people lazy. However, any tool that makes a process easy can make a person lazy. In the long run, I feel its what you say that marks you as a thinker, not with how many steps or how long (or not) it takes you to say it. :)

Excellent video. Would like to say thanks to David Dabner for his great graphic design book and for taking the time to put his input into this video. :) Both have helped greatly with my digital graphic design essay.

dave maybe a legend but its a dusty old legend that the world has forgotten. Laughed so hard about his jazz analogy... he hasn't changed a bit and doubt he ever will. Great clip this. Brings back lots of memories...especially all those bloody stairs up to typo lab.
