"Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don't need to be done." -- Andy Rooney

Mr. Rooney is pushing his curmudgeonly image here, but he is wrong. While it is certainly true that computers aren't required to do much of anything by most people, they do in fact make it easier to do many very important things, such as distributing food and other necessities. A better example might be the distribution of electricity, which could not be done as it is today without the use of computers.
