On page 9 in Track Changes you say that with electronic word processing one can “always change the text today instead of tomorrow.” Why is this exclusive to electronic processing?

Can maintaining the same tool cause a rut?
Are the ideas of tacit knowledge and materiality inherently linked, or is tacit knowledge more based in physicality?
