n “Shakespeare Never Lost a Manuscript to a Computer Crash,” Theodore Roszak

of CSU Hayward argues that “the computer contributes nothing essential to the life of

the mind. No, not even all the information that comes gushing out of the World Wide

Web . . . Am I saying that computers might actually get in the way of significant

intellectual work? Yes, I am.”
