"Progress is overrated. Or so says Martin A. Rice Jr., an associate
professor of philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. He has
no love for the computer (the keys are "too mushy," he says). He despises
PowerPoint. He prefers plain paper over glowing screens. If he could go back
to making copies on a mimeograph, he would. "I'm fond of the old and
suspicious of the new," he says. 

Mr. Rice explains all this over a rotary telephone from the 1970s. Later he
bangs out a follow-up message on his 1938 Underwood Champion portable
typewriter. "
