    Cameron Park

    The document summarizes a passage about Cameron Park in California where residents use small planes on the roads like cars due to the town's original design. The passage notes that when the town was originally built, a small airport was included to attract property buyers. It became clear the airport was an attraction itself, so the streets were designed for planes and infrastructure accommodated their use. Now, it is likely residents will keep private planes in home garages and use them with the same freedom as driving cars.

    Almost everyone says that computers are wonderful and that they are changing our own lives for the better by making everything faster and more reliable, but Im not so much sure that this is the case. The other day I was standing in a large department store until waiting to pay for a couple of films for my camera when the assistant announced that the computer which controlled the till it had stopped working. I didnt think this was a big problem and I set myself off to find another counter, but of course, all the machines are one part of the same system. So there we were: a shop full of customers, money at the ready, waiting to make our purchases, but it was quite clear that none out of the assistants knew what to do. They werent allowed to take our money and give to customers a written receipt, because the sales wouldnt then have been recorded on the computer system. In the end, like with many other people, I left my shopping on the counter and walked out. Dont you think so thats ridiculous? It would never have happened before computers, and that, for me, is all the problem: we are beginning to depend on these machines for so completely that we simply cant manage without them any more.
