I could also add something I heard in a TV documentary about computer history named 'The Nerds' Revenge' (IIRC):
Quote:
A nerd is a guy who uses the telephone to talk about telephone.
(or something very close to it)
I'd change "A computer is a device for solving problems you won't have without it." for "A computer is a device for solving problems you wouldn't even know about without it." This is something like some 'new' diseases people claim to be created by men. They have always existed and people died because of them as for 'unknown cause', and the very science that have revealed them became their creator.
None of these guys mention working posts, medicine advancements, careers, educational technologies, safety and the so too many aids mankind has been added due to computers, they just want their obliterated, restricted point of view to take place.
Or else they have no idea of what they are talking about.
Bleah!
