Fearing the computer

There was a time when we ‘feared’ the computer.  I don’t mean back in the 1950s and 1960s when, for some reason, we assumed it would take over the world a make us slaves to it.  (Heh! That never happened, did it? We’re not slaves to our computers are we? Erm. Are we?)  I mean, we feared it would completely change the way we live and breath. 
I don’t think we can blame the computer itself.  Maybe the ‘internet’ and definitely ‘social media’ (especially the evil Facebook), but not the computer.  Can we?
Am I right?  Hello?  Anybody out there?
Damn. I’d better go and pose this question on Facebook.  I hope they haven’t missed me whilst I’ve been here writing this.
