Slickness: "This system is made possible by the same fact that enables Ecotopian book publication to be so much more rapid ours: authors retype their edited final drafts on an electric typewriter that also makes a magnetic tape. This tape can be turned into printing plates in a few minutes, and it can be simultaneously fed into the central storage computer, so it is immediately available to the printout terminals." (Callenbach, 1975) Desktop publishing and CADD systems, with a plenitude of sophisticated graphics, typography, laser printer capabilities, multicolor plotters, film recorders, and color thermal printers, represent a dangerous potential for subordinating content to packaging. The text formatting, graphics processing, and output capabilities of relatively inexpensive computer systems can produce a slick memo, newsletter, or pamphlet with minimal effort and cost. The appearance of the end product can be indistinguishable from any other skillfully crafted, professional publication. As a result, the production of research reports and reference materials with an authoritative appearance proliferates, and it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish between credible and specious information resources. This cautionary observation reveals another fundamental paradox of the Information Age. While contemporary technology permits the professional looking publication of virtually everything written, not everything written should be published. Notwithstanding those who would intentionally mislead or misinform a target audience, editors must play a key role in making this determination of the credibility and accuracy of the published information. However, by providing direct user access to primary sources in a global information network, individual discretion can play a larger role in judging the relevancy and veracity of information content.
