Changing the world for the better...?

... or direct to

If anyone had said a couple of years ago that I would be spending all my days in front of a computer screen, and even thinking I was enhancing the quality of life by doing it - I'd probably just have laughed:

My ideal was a self-sufficient life in a timber farmhouse with sheepskins, home-made bread and a calligraphic pen... Computers could do lots, sure, but they were yet one more step in an unhealthy trend, furthering people from contact with their reality, from taking hold of their own lives, from finding out who they really were...

But

• to publish world-wide at virtually no cost
• to update your work at a moment's notice
• to be free of the whims of a publisher
• to integrate text, visual elements and sound

  - what a dream!
