In part I agree, but several isolated thoughts spring to mind:
* our training and exams in med school give us the tendency to feel good
about storing masses of information in our brains, but is this the best
place - are not computers infinitely better at recall than brains ;-)
* there is a difference between computerisation that is essential, and
that which is plain fun - I confess I enjoy *playing*
* people tend to extremes, and when pushed will defend themselves by
moving closer to the extreme i.e. a *technophobe* will insist computers
are no more than toys for the boys and will be blind to any positive
uses, but equally an enthusiast will see a computer as the answer to
everything, regardless of sense.
* a piece of paper is a powerful tool of communication (A Risk)
* playing and creating an enjoyable work environment is not a sin
