The Holiday Card project
For the past 5 years, I've been absorbed in creating an elaborate Holiday Card that we send to friends and family. I also tried to make it available to more people as I sent it electronically as an email attachment. This year, the electronic or HTML version of the project has improved significantly in terms of appearance, content, flexibility with languages and such, over the traditional paper product. As a result, next year will see a reduction in the number of cards printed (and trees fallen.) Only those good folks who still don't come close to, or hardly ever touch a computer will be treated to the physical card, while everyone else will enjoy the better, digital product. This, like most things, illustrates the power of computing and shows that we can reach more effectively many more people through that medium. Is this good or bad? I'd like you to tell me!
