Computers: Before computers
|
A computer was something on tv from a science fiction show... A window was something you hated to clean.... and RAM was the cousin of a goat..... Meg was the name of my girlfriend and Gig was something you did on stage for money now they all mean different things and that really mega bytes An application was for employment A program was a tv show A cursor used profanity A keyboard was a piano Memory was something that you lost with age a cd was a bank account and if you had a 3 1/2' floppy you hoped nobody found out Compress was something you did to the garbage not something you did to a file and if you unzipped anything in public you'd be in jail for a while Log on was adding wood to the fire hard drive was a long trip on the road a mouse pad was where a mouse lived and a backup happened to your commode Cut you did with a pocket knife paste you did with glue a web was a spider's home and a virus was the flu I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper and the memory in my head I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash but when it happens they wish they were dead |
