Follow me on:

At the grocery store I noticed a photocopy of a Coca-Cola coupon tacked to the employee bulletin board with "Fake - Do Not Accept" written across it in red letters. Standing in the checkout line I chuckled over the obviously doctored photos on the covers of some tabloid magazines (well, it was obvious to me at least). Something caught the eye of the cashier and she took out one of those marking pens used to detect counterfeit bills when the customer in front of me paid for their groceries (nothing happened, must have been a false alarm). But those were just some of the daily reminders that the printing press, desktop printers, page layout software, and digital photography have revolutionized far more than just the way we create and publish brochures, ads, and books. These are powerful tools we have, use them wisely.

I agree, the powers bestowed upon us by modern software warrant prudence in use.
