and this is what i have been terrified when it comes to me and this machine:

You’re slumped in front of a screen, in the same physical situation as a TV
watcher, you’ve just added a typewriter. And you’re "interactive." What does
that mean? It does not mean community. It’s catatonic schizophrenia. So blah
blah blah, communicate communicate, data data data. It doesn’t mean anything
more than catatonics babbling and drooling in a mental institution. Why can’t we
stop? How is it that five years ago there were no cell phones, and now everyone
needs a cell phone? You can pick up any book by any half-brained post-Marxist
jerkoff and read about how capitalism creates false needs. Yet we allow it to go
on.
