If in fact the role of the computer has shifted from being a particular technology to a filter for "all culture, past and present" whats to say that it cannot be manipulated? Considering (as someone has already commented on) that society as a whole are not programmers and do not understand the codes and how computers operate beyond what we see on the screen. Why couldn't a historical event be manipulated, or erased completely, keeping in mind that the computer has "replaced cinema and television screen, the art gallery wall, library and book."?
What was the point of the paragraph explaining how the computer has bridged the gap between work and leisure? I don't understand how that relates to the rest of the chapter.
