Saturday fun :-)
A group of adults were taking a computer science course at a local college. The professor wanted to have fun one day and divided the group by sex. Males on one side, females on the other. Then he told them to determine what gender the computer should be.
The men voted unanimously that the computer should be referred to in the feminine gender and the reasons to support that were:
- No one but their creator understands their internal logic
- When computers speak with each other, they speak in code language that only they and experts can understand
- Every mistake is stored on their hard drive for later retrieval
- As soon as you commit to one, you spend half your paycheck accessorizing it
The women had the last word...they unanimously believed that computers ought to be referred to in the masculine gender. Here's why:
- In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on
- They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves
- They're supposed to solve problems but half the time they are the problem
- As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you waited a little longer you could have gotten a better model
