The Screw A story about technology

THE SCREW Sometimes it’s just an error to judge the value of an activity simply by the time consumed in doing it…. A good example is the case of an engineer called in to fix an enormous and extremely complicated computer…. A computer worth 12 million dollars. Sitting in front of the screen, he pressed a few keys, made a few positive facial expressions, mumbled something to himself and switched the computer off.

The president of the company was delighted with his well done job and wanted to pay him instantly. - “Can I pay you now?” he asked - “Yes, it’s 1000 dollars, please."

The invoice said:
