While Wendell Berry’s essay is certainly thought-provoking‚ it was to a certain degree frustrating to read for me because I perceived it as a perfect example of good environmentalist intentions and a legitimate desire of finding alternatives to our unsustainable system which ultimately lead to an oversimplified and irrational utopian vision to be realized by pursuing just one path which shows esoteric traits.

He used strong points about the cost of owning a computer‚ the toll strip mining has on the environment‚ and his wife’s important role in his life to identify the problems with computers. The writer could have done a better job developing the topic. I can assume he wrote this essay to convince the reader they do not need the products
