-Psycho- Asked:
Should we treat computers as our significant other?
What Gender (If we must) should we treat computers as: Mr or Ms? A Man or a Woman?
Here is what a French Language teacher asked some of her students: Are computers men or women?
The answer pretty much lay along the gender line.
Boys: Computers are women, because:
1) No one but their creator understands their internal logic
2) The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else
3) Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later reasoning
4) As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
Girls: Computers are men, because:
1) In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on.
2) They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves
3) They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem.
4) As soon as you commit to one, you realise that if you had waited a little longer you could have gotten a better one.
My answer: Computers are women, because:
1) They're picky about what they wear.
2) They demand constant clean, though they're the one attracting dust to begin with.
3) As soon as they know you're in hurry they want to talk about problems.
4) They love the uppermost security level, yet they always leave doors open.
5) They cant empty their own trashcan.
5) They store a long list of the things you use and play with frequently; to mess you with it.
6) Your friend's computer always looks better than yours.
7) They most likely will never tell you what's wrong.
8) They always loose your vitals by mistake.
9) One day they will refuse to be turned on, even though they were fine the day before.
I don't know how many female members here at HL2.net, but I would love to see female responders.
Please, share your opinions.
Take Care.
