Why I'm Not Going to Buy a Computer
Book •
"Why I Am Not Going to Buy a Computer" by Wendell Berry is an essay articulating Berry's skepticism towards technology, particularly computers, and their impact on society and individual autonomy.
In this essay, Berry explains his preference for using a typewriter over a computer, arguing that the typewriter is a more reliable and repairable technology.
He emphasizes the importance of understanding and being able to fix one's tools, contrasting this with the complexity and dependency associated with computers.
Berry suggests that relying too heavily on technology can lead to a loss of self-sufficiency and a disconnection from the physical world.
His resistance to computers reflects a broader concern about the values and priorities of modern, technology-driven society.
