Unicode and word processors ("desktop publishing") have brought us to the point of being our own typesetters. Talk about losing jobs: in the past, a document could go from a verbal dictation to a scribe taking notes, to an editor for redactions, to be set in movable type, and printed on a press. Now it’s up to one person with a computer to do it all, and our scope and definition of literacy has expanded. Someone writing a manuscript doesn’t have 3 different dashes: they just draw a line, short or long. Typewriters had a hyphen key only. Maybe we can go back to "two spaces after each period".
