-
- REASONS TO HATE COMPUTERS
-
- They cost too much.
-
- They break down all the time.
-
- They're too hard to fix.
-
- All the different brands are incompatible.
-
- They take up too much desk space.
-
- They become obsolete five minutes after you leave the store.
-
- They don't understand plain English.
-
- You can't fix them by whacking them a few times with a hammer.
-
- Electronic bulletin boards never have enough thumbtacks.
-
- You have to know how to type to use them.
-
- They lose your data every time there's an electrical storm in the Western
- Hemisphere.
-
- They give off weird, otherworldly radiation that probably causes cancer but
- we won't find out until we all have it. And they make you go blind too.
-
- They all have three-pronged plugs, and it's a two-pronged world.
-
- There are too many kinds to choose from.
-
- All of them are lousy anyway.
-
- Our grandparents never had them, and they got along just fine.
-
- They're taking away people's jobs.
-
- They don't do anything the average person needs.
-
- They're ugly.
-
- Printer ribbons have to be replaced too frequently.
-
- They think the world can be reduced to strings of ones and zeros.
-
- They forget everything they know the instant you turn them off.
-
- Storing words on disks never made any sense and it never will.
-
- Five cables sticking out of an appliance is cruel and unusual punishment.
-
- Computer paper is cheap and flimsy.
-
- Printers sound like World War III.
-
- Since diskettes are not female disks, they have no right to their own word.
-
- Computer furniture is uncomfortable and looks lousy around the house.
-
- Computer salesmen are sleazeballs.
-
- Instruction manuals are written by illiterate sadists.
-
- When they sell you a $500 computer, they forget to mention that you have to
- spend another $1,500 in order to do anything with it.
-
- Most computers have dumb names.
-
- How can you respect any machine controlled by a mouse?
-
- Right now some kid is trying to figure out how he can use one to start a
- nuclear war.
-
- It hurts your back to sit in front of one for a long time.
-
- They don't make good conversation at parties.
-
- They are an escape from the reality of life.
-
- When you make a mistake using one, you can't blame it on anybody.
-
- Women don't seem to like them.
-
- They are God's way of telling you that you're not confused enough.
-
- It's too easy to get a shock by licking the stamps on electronic mail.
-
- If there weren't any computers, we wouldn't have computer errors, computer
- crime, or computer nerds.
-
- If computers can tap into information networks thousands of miles away, how
- come they can't load the program I just bought down the street?
-
- They're no good for balancing a checking account, because after you buy one
- there's nothing left in your checking account anyway.
-
- Computer games are turning our children into brainless walking zombies.
-
- And worst of all, the guy down the street has a better one than I do.
