StaticIp 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2008 I know exactly how you feel! I recently had to install ubuntu onto a removable hard drive so I could always have my data. In a way it is like a soul, It can have a thought process and a meaning to its life but it gets iffy around the free will part.. My computer is my friend and I treat it just as I would any other human being. is that odd? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bangms 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 I'm kind of unsure about what you're saying but I think I get what you mean. You're saying that if we treat our computer as a 'being' then we'll do more than we could ever do. Personally, I think of my computers as just . . . computers. I think of them as a device that helps us with everyday things. Even though I think of computers this way, I agree with the second part of your opinion. The computer gives access to tools and communication with people that we wouldn't ever come across without a computer. I do though disagree with the part about treating computers as a 'being' or 'living thing' or whatever. They're just simply devices that accomplish the task that they're given.

minimcmonkey 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 I dont think a computer can really (not until they have near real brains) be called anything but "it". A comuter is only as clever as the person who created it, It doesnt do any work, its justlie a calcultor which can use a few more functions - you would say a calculator was anything more than an "it". A computer is really just a piece of metal, which with the help of real humans - becomes very fast - but not clever - never clever, it only knows what it has been told to know by the person who made/programmed it.

A computer is really just a piece of metal, which with the help of real humans - becomes very fast - but not clever - never clever, it only knows what it has been told to know by the person who made/programmed it.My computer is my third arm, I don't rely on it, it relies on my. It doesn't tell me what I can't do, I tell it what I CAN do. The only boundaries a computer has are the user's boundaries, for it is no more than a tool. A Man's computer is a gate to that man's soul.I know this might sound a bit unreal, but my computer is that to me, an extension of what I'm capable of.I don't live by these rules, they live by me. I've had the privilege of being accompanied by one all these years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My partner is at the point of wanting to be reincarnated as a laptop, just to get equal attention.Its always happy to see me, and we just have fun together My computer's name is Violet by the way...
