Can the Computer make People Better?

This is a trick question and can be answered in a number of ways. 

The easiest way is to assert the innate badness of people. "Nothing on earth will make people any better!"

Or you can go to the opposite extreme. "The Computer can make us perfectible (if not perfect). If the Bomb does not get us first."

Or we can note the obvious: the Internet has changed who we are - for better or worse.
