We cannot live with PC. ,cannot live without PC.
The central idea of a personal computer is that we should be connected to almost everyone and everything at all times. The trouble is that if you inform your address and no one responses you are irrelevant,unloved or both.
No one remembers life before cars,TVs and air conditioners.Anyone without PC. will soon be classified as a crank or a member of the underclass.
We so devoted to staying interconnected are kept in a perpetual state of anxiety, because we may have missed some significant news. Above all, we waste of the time to read a book. We may be more plugged in and less thoughtful. All this is the wave of the present. PC. is an irresistible tool. Actually, I often wish I didn't, I have got it though.
A commentator at Washinton Post, R.J. Samuelson says that PC. pretends to increase our freedom while actually
stealing it.
We have to remember the late poet Ogden Nash, who wrote: "Progress
might have been all right once, but it's gone too long."
PS, As for above topic, personal computer, I have got a hint from the Japan Times dated 7.August 2004.
