Ever wondered whether a computer is a she or a he? But why this analogy? There are traits in each of these sexes that at any point in time lend credence to this comparison!! Let’s dig in:
Reasons why the computer should be a He/ masculine gender;
• You need to turn them on to get their attention
• They are supposed to solve a problem but after time they are the problem.
• As you commit to one, you realize that had you waited a little longer you could have gotten a better model.
Let’s flip the other side to find out why the computer should be a Feminine gender:
• No one but the creator understands their internal logic.
• Even your smallest mistakes are stored for a long term memory.
• As soon as you commit to one, you find yourself spending half of your paycheck on accessories for it.
If these truths didn’t get you in stitches, then it is either you have no sense of humour or the ice just won’t break!!!
