OK Dave, first comment. I've been looking at this since you posted it. Is this one of those "working with blinders on" references? Maybe the window is rose colored...

No, the only point is that when we do information work on a computer, everything is seen through a window. The size of the window can be quite limiting when it comes to thinking.

That makes sense.

I had an epiphany while staring at your drawing. I realized that all forms of human communication are visual. Even the words we use (the stories we tell) create a visual image in the reader's mind. The images they create are their own based on their personal experiences.

Because their experiences may differ from our own, it made me remember the 'Curse of Knowledge' from the book "Made to Stick". The moral of the story of the 'tappers' and 'listeners' is that we must overcome our own knowledge in order to effectively relate our story and experiences to others, whether we use words or pictures.

That's why the use of stick figures and basic drawing forms works so well to convey a message. I need to learn to think more visually so that I use words more effectively - like stick figures that others can relate to on a nearly subconscious level.
