Computer crashing.

My computer crashed a week ago, here at Richmond Hill Bed and Breakfast, which was not helpful.  I have been thinking during this time how essential or inessential a computer is.  Am I dominated by a machine?   The answer seems to be that in actual fact other than the emails, where I went to a dear kind neighbour, I did not miss it much.   I have to admit though that I had just finished all the most important projects I had been doing, or otherwise I think it would have mattered a great deal more.

I read an article recently which said that people are dominated by the web and their computers.  I do know one particular person who seems to zero in on the computer as often as possible, and relentlessly, to the detriment of human communication.   This has to be harmful to the human spirit eventually, because we are human and no matter how wonderful and helpful a computer is, we cannot allow ourselves to be dominated by them!
