Because I'm feeling curious...

What do you think of the second person POV?

Whatever did people do before the xerox machine was discovered?

"I've come across quite a number of people who say that they hate the first person POV (even more when it rotates). Hmm. Maybe it's bad first person writing that has conditioned everyone against it? *goes off to hunt for the link*"

In my case it is a matter of the quality of the writing more than the POV - if something is done well, it doesn't matter how it is done. *g*

"But tell me, did they actually write everything down, say, when someone needed something important from an old, obscure book in the library?"

Good question. I would assume that they did have to write everything down or, if one was evil and lazy, rip the page out of the book.

"The telephone. Most definitely the telephone. *g*"

I'm sorry to have to tell you this (yeah right), but the telephone was most definitely not the first of the three. I was, of course, being nasty - the fax machine came first, and a good thirty years first.

"And for the second one, I have *no* idea. Heh."

A hair dryer.

I've a truck-load of such inane facts.
