9. What are some of the downsides of this excessive emphasis on efficiency, calculability and predictability?

Some of the downsides on efficiency are learning new technologies, paying higher prices, and more time being wasted. A downside for calculability is poor quality. Finally, a downside on predictability is the sense of control companies put forth upon people. I try to keep my eyes open and my ears open. I think anyone hates to be ripped off. For example, when your vehicle needs an oil change, which is just regular maintenance.

Explanation:

Generally, the witches speak in a trochaic rhythm (sets of two syllables that alternate stressed then unstressed -- the opposite of iambic), with shorter lines of 8 syllables rather than 10 syllables. This sets them apart from the traditional characters, because their speech rhythm is different so it makes them seem more mystical and magical.
