Modern digital spectrophotometric devices allow for a much more rapid gathering of spectroscopic data on stars and galaxies. Colors and line strengths can lead to new classification schemes, and/or physical interpretations of much fainter objects than previously possible. However, the same old conceptual problems of interpretation (e.g. in abundances of G and K stars) remain a serious difficulty. Illustrations of these accomplishments and problems are given.
