Ignorance breeds antipathy. Until I got to know how computers worked, I didn't want anything to do with them. I said, 'Well, why do I need them? I write letters.' Which I still do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Computers absolutely changed my life. Before I had a computer, I had never written one thing. Not one thing. I'm a very bad speller and I was embarrassed by that. When I would type, the little mistakes would make me nutty, and I would never edit anything.
I didn't know much about computers. I still worked on a manual Olivetti typewriter.
I grew up before computers. Computers are changing things, not all for the good.
Computers intimidate me.
Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.
I became convinced that the whole essence of the computer revolution is interactivity. That was very early in my career. At the time I did that it was heresy.
I am of the very last generation who didn't have computers at school. As we grow old we'll become something of an aberration.
People thought I was very pro-computer. I was on the cover of 'Wired' magazine. Then things began to change. In the early '80s, we met this technology and became smitten like young lovers. But today our attachment is unhealthy.
As a person with terrible handwriting, I love the computer. I've waited all my life for the computer.
I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.
