"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
@loriemerson is this from the same collection as the other quote you recently shared? What essay or collection?
@RainbowStardiver yes it's from the same piece - it appeared in Harper's in 1987. pdf here https://classes.matthewjbrown.net/teaching-files/philtech/berry-computer.pdf
