Theodore compares computer to people, and tries to find the difference between them. He defenses the people and tries to show how the computers can't make ideas. People make all programs and the computer is a tool to use them.
Computer handles only information and products it, but people make information and ideas.
This book is very useful and it gives a critical notion on our optimistically point of view. I didn't find any theory in this book.
The book is old and critics aren't relevant in every items but some of the basic critics are good.
