Vonnegut is right because computers have made things a bit TOO easy for humans. Instead of us evolving into better and smarter people, it is really the computers and the other inventions that are doing the "becoming.” Vonnegut says that people kind of start to un develop with all the new contraptions that make life easier. Vonnegut is also right when he says that you becoming what you should become is what you were born to work, not the computers job. Ludites don't like technology and they think that it is going to corrupt us one day, maybe Vonnegut is right with his stories when he talks about things going hay wire with to much technology. The question really is how advanced can technology get until it starts to hurt us. In some ways Vonnegut is wrong, from the view of Bill Gates or other owners of companies that make technologies, Kurt Vonnegut would be the devil. It all boils down to how much your willing to depend on technology because you never know if it is going to know when or if it is going to bite you in the behind.
