As I was doing some work on the computer today I was recalling going to Epcot Center in the 80’s, right when it opened. Amazing!  I especially liked the tour of the home of tomorrow where the voiceover man told us, “Some day every home in the United States will have its own personal computer.” Totally sci-fi. “What for?” I wondered.

Well, now can you imagine your life  without a computer? Email, online meetings, information, dating, socializing, continuous light rock to help you through the workday at kosi101.com, you can’t live without ‘em!  They’re useful at home, at work, for school. They give us something to blame when something goes wrong.  “My computer crashed” is a better excuse for a missing assignment than “my dog ate it.” And isn’t it better to say something went wrong with the computer rather than “he doesn’t work here anymore?”

Oh, sure, it can be a real time-waster.  But that’s awesome too sometimes.  All hail the geeks with too much time on their hands!

“Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don’t need to be done.”–Andy Rooney
