Shashi Tharoor eloquently articulates what some of us really
feel:
“Indeed, there is an
inverse relationship between the difficulty and expense of communication, on
one hand, and the quality of what is communicated, on the other. When telegraph
operators were paid by the word, and there was always the risk of garbled
transmissions, messages were crisp, succinct, and to the point. When neither
length nor complexity affects the cost of a message, however, the field is open
for irrelevant and unnecessary communication.”
