What Computers are Really For

What did you think, conveying information?

Blogs?

Noooo, silly....


"Computers are fast becoming tools for the "new literacy," which is more about playing video games than about reading and writing. It's a term the novelist Robert Coover (who wrote the Times essay, in 1992, "The End of Books") suggested to me a few years ago.

No wonder the kids are soooo fucking stooo-pid!!!

Not really their fault, is it?

Had this shit shoved down their throats like the rest of us!


Text might have a place in the new literacy, Coover said, but as part of a mix, with video and sound, and projected inside an immersive, 3D virtual reality viewing area."

That's right, citizens; just WITHDRAW from the WORLD into a FANTASY LAND!!!

Let those globalists run things; after all, they are doing such a wonderful job so far!!
