Kurt vonnegut seems to thinks all computers are bad, and in a way I agree but not to the point were I would destroy a computer. By what he writes in the Euphio Question it seems that he belives computers have the abillity to brainwash and overwhelm you without you being able to stop it, he gives an example of this by comparing machines to mariguana in pg 193 "Aperantly that's like walking past a field of burnning marijuana". I have to agree and say that computers can in a way brain wash but I belivve Kurt is underestimmating the capabilty of the human brain by think computers can take over our lifes. Computers are here to make our lifes easier not to take control of them. I think the reason Kurt Vonnegut writes about technology in this way is because he is scared of what technology can do, and he likes things the way they are because the future is unexpected and he doesnt like that.
