Lori Emerson"That computers are expected to become as common as TV sets in 'the future' does not impress me or matter to me. I do not own a TV set. I do not see that computers are bringing us one step nearer to anything that does matter to me: peace, economic justice, ecological health, political honesty, family and community stability, good work." --Wendell Berry, 1987
Rainbow Stardiver@loriemerson is this from the same collection as the other quote you recently shared? What essay or collection?
