An exception to a sort of rule?

When people first started using cameras they attempted to shoot portraits of nature as though they had been drawn. For much of their early history movie cameras did little more than sit stationary and focus on staged productions. Despite the fact that new technologies hold within themselves capabilities beyond, or at least different from, existing ones, their first uses seem always to be imitations of already available technologies. That being the case, there's something perhaps encouraging in the fact that when people started posting mass mailings of wise sayings, jokes, and the like, they seemed to immediately realize that they weren't limited in these postings in the way that a refrigerator door might limit them. What's more, I'm not aware of any attempts to store food behind the computer screen.
