THE NUMBER ONE DEMAND.

One thing I find very troubling in America today, perhaps the world, is that everyone is expected to have a computer and be proficient in its use.  In order to get a booster shot, for instance, I am instructed to contact a computer address and fill out all kinds of information. Being a Luddite I can do that, but with difficulty. But there are still thousands, maybe millions of Americans, poor Americans, elderly Americans , just plain stubborn Americans who don't have a computer or don't find it simple to use.  How do they schedule the vaccinations that the government insists are so important? Yet these people are constantly asked to go to this or that computer address to buy tickets, make hotel reservations, find repair persons, make medical appointments or check your medical results, and hundreds of other reasons. Companies rarely promote their address anymore and often hide their phone number. We have become an increasingly computerized and antisocial country. The general message today seems to be, "Go out and buy an expensive computer and learn to use it or you don't belong in society."
