The nice thing about this line of thought is that none of the distorting influences of the computer just described is an inevitable influence.

The computer is perhaps the most pronounced disrupter of wholeness, the most radical expression of one-sidedness, mankind has yet known. For that reason, it may conceivably prove in the end to be our servant in achieving the most profoundly integrated and harmonious life mankind has known. Without dissonance, there can be no music.
