The Chronicle of Higher Education, Nov 1, 1996 v43 n10 pA56(1)                        A Neo-Luddite reflects on the Internet. Gertrude Himmelfarb.                 Abstract: Risks of the computer revolution outweigh its rewards. Word processors, computerized library catalogues, CD-ROMs and research                 using the Internet make a scholar's life easier and more interesting. Printing created a culture based on books which gradually became                 authoritative sources. But the electronic flood of sounds and images does not develop understanding and logical thought, and Internet is not able                 to judge the quality of what it carries.                     Article A18875505
