I sat in on a meeting this week in which a librarian was talking to a publishing industry working group and getting a bit too granular about archiving digital books. There was a lot of silence, and then someone asked “Isn’t this the sort of thing that gets solved and we just press a button?” He wasn’t joking.
He’s on a digital working group and his attitude is that techies make buttons and his job is to press them.
A good reply would have been “What color would you like the button to be?” (to paraphrase a post I read recently)
