Vonnegut is both right and wrong. He is right that we rely on computers too much and should be “doing the becoming ourselves.” This means that the computer is becoming the thing that we humans want to become, and we should be the ones becoming that. But that is no reason to dislike computers. They are very helpful in so many ways. They help us with printing, they help us access things with the click of a button. They even allow you to make what would be so complicated years ago, such as graphs and data and a five paragraph essay, with a simple set of tasks. Yes, we do rely on it a little too much but that is no reason to dislike it. Why should we dislike such a useful tool?
