The computer is a mechanism for acceleration: it accelerates economic activity, and this is eating up the world. It's eating up resources, it's processing, it's manufacturing, it's distributing, it's consuming. That's what the computer's real work does, and it does that 24/7, 365 days a year, non-stop, just to satisfy our own narrow needs.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Der Computer ist ein Beschleunigungsmechanismus: Er beschleunigt die Wirtschaftstätigkeit und dies frisst die Welt auf. Es frisst Ressourcen, es verarbeitet, es produziert, es verteilt und verbraucht es. Das ist die eigentliche Arbeit des Computers, und das rund um die Uhr, 365 Tage im Jahr ohne Unterbrechung, nur um unsere eigenen engen Bedürfnisse zu befriedigen.
