Someone mentioned earlier (Chris Omaroo I think..) computer language..
I will try to repeat his remark here: Just try something like this when you are writing a program or script and see what you will end up with.
OK, computers may be dumb.. but so are the people (at least some  ). |
Thanks for you're reply. I think effective communication is accurate communication. True its not accurate to you but then again nothing about how you communicate would have been accurate to Shakespeare and he would have wrongly, in my opinion, concluded from the way we communicate in this day and age that we are all stupid.
Which brings me to another pet subject of mine that you struck on. The one about people being stupid. It constantly amazes me how people freely say that people are stupid. You need to surf the net more and speak to people with an open mind more. I am constantly amased at how really really smart we are. Increadibly smart. Dont let the fact that we all come from different perspectives, different interests and different lives fool you. People are smart
