I've spent a large portion of my life in front of these things, but I try to make sure they don't own me. It's not true, but they sure can be annoying. There is a certain randomness to their operation which is a product of the large-scale systems that comprise them. Not everything fits together perfectly.
Electronic circuits fail and software has bugs.
The whole idea of building machines out of hunks of metal doesn't seem very natural. I'm really hoping that these big metal boxes are gone one day, replaced by something that is biological and efficient. I like the idea of watering my computer to keep it operating happily. Unfortunately, I haven't updated it much since 1995, but I do have plans to Real Soon Now. I'm letting it stand on its own until I write other related documents.
