Computers male or female?
A pastor of one church who was previously a sailor was very
aware of
the fact that that ships are addressed as 'she' and 'her'.
He often
wondered what gender computers should be addressed.
To answer that
question, he set up two groups of computer experts. The
first was
comprised of women, and the second of men. Each
group was asked to
recommend whether computers should be referred to in
the feminine
gender, or the masculine gender. They were
asked to give 4 reasons
for their recommendation.
The group of women reported that the computers should
be referred to
in the masculine gender because:
In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
They have a lot of data, but are still clueless.
They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the
time they are the problem.
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 concluded that computers
should be
referred to in the feminine gender because:
No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.
The native language they use to communicate with other computers
is incomprehensible to everyone else.
Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory
for later retrieval.
As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself
spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
