What gender is computer ?
Most of us know that Amitabh Bachaan has always
addressed the computer in masculine gender except
once in feminine gender, recently.
Lets see what groups of computer experts, one
comprised of women and other of men think.
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.
- 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
