Reign of the Computer

It's a thoroughly amazing creature of the almighty high-technology, this high-end computer with magical and awesome techno-capability. It conquers distance, it shrinks time and space with mind-boggling, lightning velocity, sending oceans of images and words, sights and sounds instantly throughout the world. Anyone anytime anywhere, in a way, is but a few easy mouse-clicks away. But it seems this gadget of real wonder, in weird ways, has now become our master; we're forced to seek new needs for its uses, this tool now makes the user's excuses; It spews, for our mental indigestion, streams of print-outs called raw information we glamorize as knowledge explosion, presumed synonymous with education!
