- Title
Vom Nutzen des Herkömmlichen in der Wissenschaft.
- Authors
Schmolke, Michael
- Abstract
The article opens with a discussion of those "off-liners" in scholarly or managerial positions who avoid the uses of such media as e-mail, in favor of the fax or even handwritten letters. The author also recalls his time doing first drafts by hand and later replacing an IBM Selectric typewriter and correction fluid with a PC for his scholarly manuscripts. Several arguments are adduced for the advantages of handwriting, citing such authors as Heinrich von Kleist and Walter Hömberg.
