Question

In Kurt Vonnegut’s short story, "The Euphio Question," the narrator refers to "an electronic something-or-other, cheap, easily mass-produced, that can, at the flick of a switch, provide tranquility" as being worse than a heart attack. Which of the following quotations from Vonnegut’s autobiography A Man without a Country help to explain why his narrator might have such a view?

Answer 1

"Today we have contraptions like nuclear submarines armed with Poseidon missiles that have H-bombs in their warheads. And we have contraptions 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, not the d*** fool computer. What you can become is the miracle you were born to be through the work that you do." and "Electronic communities build nothing. You wind up with nothing. We are dancing animals. How beautiful it is to get up and go out and do something. We are here on Earth to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different."
