DO COMPUTERS NEED THERAPY by Ray Zukowski

I came across this wonderful article and I just had to share it... Happy reading
talk to you soon

I wonder if our technology hasn't gone too far. I have been noticing more and more quirks on my computer lately. When I ask my printer to print it asks if I really want to print. Like "Are you talking to me!". Then it prompts me again before it really does it. Is it question my ability to choose to print or is it too busy in its own thoughts to do the job. Couldn't we just talk it out between us.

When I am looking for music, Itunes opens and it always tells me that it is not my main music program. Would I like it to be? Does this program feeling insecure about its place in the world. Does it need therapy for this insecurity about being number two? Maybe some confidence building is in order.

My Moviemaker software is always in some kind of conflict with Quicktime. Is this just sibling rivalry? Do I have to worry about anger management issues between these two programs.

Sometimes programs have there own inner conflicts. I worry. They may go haywire someday unexpectedly and who knows what it might do? My computer tells me that they have an issue that cannot be resolved. Would regression therapy to core cause help?

Even the equipment has issues. The other day my hard drive said "Main Memory is failing." Can computers have Alzheimer's? If i get its memory wiped will past life issues still remain?

It seems the very worst is when the computer is feeling really bad and it expresses the feelings with a full blue screen. How sad. A total melt down. Usually means a break in our relationship. How could I have prevented this kind of emotional problem.

Well, maybe there is a new profession coming. Therapy for computers and the programs in it or is it a wicked plot to take over our minds through kitchen appliances by aliens. No, that's another topic.

Just my thoughts today.
