AArrrrrghhhh computers!

 The annoying uselessness of computers.

Many people have this annoying belief that computers are the most interesting, as well as useful thing on earth. Unfortunately I was once one of them. But now, I know better. Computers are actually one of the most useless things on planet earth. (The most useful thing would happen to be a pen. The next useful thing being paper.) The computer also happens to be the rudest machine on earth. It actually plays tricks on you, and never laughs. Now, how sick is that?

I actually wonder how computers became so popular amongst humans, but then I realize that the majority of humans are quite dense. They are willing to forgive the computer for its crimes against humanity by simply assuming that it is a machine, there must be something wrong with us because the computer is a perfect system and we, at all events are flawed. Such humans seem to forget the fact that the computer was created by humans which are flawed. In my own opinion (and for common sense sake.) it is quite impossible for a flawed system to produce a perfect system. Just how the hell is that supposed to happen? You don’t understand me. Don’t worry, a few examples are in order.

·         Your internet connection fluctuates with no apparent reason. Why is this happening?
You brush it off. I’m probably mistyping the addresses just like the browser said I was.

·         You type correctly. Hiring the whole of your English class buddies to proof read. Same problem.
You brush this off as well. May be there is something wrong with the modem or router.

·         You have the erring (possibly) modem/router serviced three times in a row with the same problem conveniently repeating itself. You wind up in one corner. Fiercely chastising you. What have you done wrong?
Then your computer decides fun’s over and tells you: sorry, you have exhausted your data plan and you are also out of airtime. You are now officially cut off from the world. Good luck.

·         You gape.
Alert, low battery. Your laptop smirks. In case of a desktop, the ups start’s beeping.

·         You grit your teeth.
The cruel thing drifts of to sleep.

And then you decide to forgive the poor thing. You didn’t charge it. And you used a short data plan. True. But I think the question you need to ask yourself is, is this really a poor thing?

See you next time.
