Computer Gender Experts
Two groups of computer experts were set up in order to find out whether computer is male or female: one group was male, and the other group was female.
The group of women reported that computers should be refereed to as "HE" because:
- In order to get their attention you have to turn them on.
- They have a lot of data but are still clueless.
- They are supposed to help you solve problems but half the time they are the problem.
- As soon as you commit to one, you realise that if you had waited a little longer, you could have had a newer and better model.
The group of men reported that computers should be refered to as "SHE" because:
- No one but the creator understands their logic.
- The native language they use to talk to other computers is incomprehensible to anyone else.
- Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for later retrieval.
- As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
