Why I Am Not Going To Buy A Computer

Wendell Berry had some good points in his essay. We all depend on technology much more than necessary. Also, technology is constantly being improved so it's hard to own the best or newest technology for long. However, I didn't agree with everything he said. He told readers he would lose his best proof reader, his wife, if he got a computer. I use a computer and still have people proof read my papers because the computer doesn't catch everything. I like having both resources because most of the time one resource is not enough. Also, technology is not always bad. In hospitals technology can save lives and give really important information regarding peoples' vital signs and so on. Technology is also a huge part of going to college. I have needed a computer for almost all of my classes so even if I didn't own one I would still have to find one to use. With the world today depending so much on technology, it is not realistic for most people to not own a computer. It may work for some people's lifestyles such as Berry's, but for many others it would not. As a whole we need to be more energy efficient and conscious but cutting out computers is simply not a reasonable solution.
