School House Rock's Pronoun song and OOP?

// I really wish I had made this connection earlier when trying to understand some simple things to do with C++ programming. It took me a while to realize that a lot of (object-oriented?) programming has to do with shortcuts and basically typing less for multiple reasons. Please correct me wherever needed.
// Anyway, I was watching the "Pronoun Song" from School House Rock and it just amazes me when I look at it from a programming perspective. I guess it's completely obvious and maybe I just get way to excited over simple programming ideas, but... well.. so be it, lol.

Indeed true, OOP does save typing, and it makes your code sometimes easier to visualize and oftentimes easier to reuse.
Programming in general, though, not necessarily. While saving time is desirable, sometimes it's more desirable to have an excellent end-product. Ideally, however, you'd save time, memory, and CPU cycles. :)
