That is true in the general case, but not when we're talking about 
objects whose aim lies in enhancing people's convenience. There is no 
fundamental difference between writing a text on a typewriter and 
sending it by snail mail and typing it on the computer and sending via 
e-mail, it's just that the second way is faster and allows for more 
convenience.

Maybe. I wouldn't care that much if not for constant wailings by some 
people that as a true Pirate I mustn't use Skype, Windows and the pdf
