A Means to An End

What did people do before computers?  For college students, computers are a way of life.  From school work and jobs, to news and entertainment, computers can effect every aspect of life.  Immeasurable on-line resources eliminate the need to leave the house for information or amusement.  Despite this wealth of information, we shouldn't rationalize avoiding other good things in life.  Facebook chatting cannot replace a face-to-face conversation.  Video streaming cannot replace live entertainment.  A computer cannot capture the wonders of real life.  Computers are a tool; they should enhance our lives, not consume them.
