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.”
Drawing from your own experiences, explain whether you agree or disagree with Roszak’s claim that “the computer contributes nothing essential to the life of the mind.” Support your position with reasons, explanations, and examples.
