Why I am not going to buy a computer (1987)

Here is a text from 1987 about computers. I think the comparison with crypto today is pretty interesting :

He probably does not really understand computers and so does not feel “connected” to them. He brings up costs issues. he brings up the energy consumption. He thinks it should not replace the systems that are in place.

These are just a couple of his arguments but I find it very interesting how similar it is to the problems with cryptocurrencies today. We all know how prevalent computers are in our society, and maybe (hopefully?) cryptocurrencies will be about as prevalent in the future.

I found it very interesting to read and wanted to share it.
