What a doltish article (no offense to the author). More informative than comparison. If you really want to compare computer with human, here it is. The group of women concluded that computers should be referred to as masculine because: 1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on. 2. They have a lot of data but are still clueless. 3. They are supposed to help you solve your problems, but half the time, they ARE the problem. 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that,if you had waited a little longer, you could have had a better model. The men, on the other hand, decided that computers should definitely be referred to as feminine 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 your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval. 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
