Beware the id Monster

By Mariam Rumi


Computers have become ubiquitous in society. They have enhanced medical treatment, streamlined industry, and replaced manual labor's most repetitive tasks. Where available, they have enhanced education. Computer Aided Evolution of society. 

As an aid, computers elevate society. Properly used they can help bring out the best in humanity. They should be used prudently. They can amplify what one is, good or bad.

Unfortunately the computer has released the "id" monster. The primitive part of the human brain that is impulsive and demands immediate satisfaction. 


The selfish ego centered, ME, ME, ME.

In the hands of an immature person the computer releases the  id monster held in check by ethics, maturity, compassion, and logic.


 On line one can immerse oneself in racism, pornography, sadism, paranoia, voyeurism galore. The computer dredges up the scum of humanity. It threatens to replace reality with delusion.


 The id monster has been released. How the human race uses the computer will affect the entire world.


Is the human race mature and ethical enough to avoid destruction?
