Evaluating Kurt Vonnegut's Quote

“Do you know whahe damn fool computer.”
I do not agree with Kurt Vonnegut because I believe computers are the tools that 'help' you become. Like a key to open a lock, computers save time and help you accomplish. Instead of cutting a t a Luddite is? That’s a person who doesn’t like newfangled contraptions. Contraptions like nuclear submarines armed with Poseidon missiles that have H-bombs in their warheads, and like computers that cheat you out of becoming. Bill Gates says, “Wait till you can see what your computer can become.” But it’s you who should be doing the becoming. What you can become is the miracle you were born to work—not tlock open by force, you are using a key, a piece of puzzle, that opens the lock. From the short story 'Euphio Question' in Kurt Vonnegut's Welcome to the Monkey House short story collection, you can easily tell that the Euphio created could have been in significant use if they did not use it incorrectly. By the Euphio, people can reach a level in which impossible with just human themselves. Launching against technology results in the greater benefit of the people. Some may say technology may ruin our minds and lives, but the chances are, people might reach a level of immortality. Perhaps there will be an invention of useful tools that would make you live longer. That would only be one example of technology usage that is necessarily. From our everyday lives, computers are becoming to impact a majority of our lives greatly. Without it, a lot of things we have accomplished could not be done and we would develop much slower. People would be wasting half their lives doing things could be done faster and better.
