The is gonna be my last post for today, Since I don't want to spam, or be accused of it. My theory, Is that if you think a computer or something is more than an 'it', then you'll get more farther in life with what you want to do. I've always live by this, Since I loved computer, Since I was 4.. I've gotten very far in all my years

So are you saying you trusting a computer to do thing for you because i would say that not the good thing to do what you should trust is yourself and loved ones.

So you are saying to trust our computers and it will do more than it's suppose to do? I really don't get what you are trying to tell us. Anything reply if you can tell one of us. Thanks.

I know exactly how you feel.
I mean, I can't imagine life without my computer. It is like a friend. A friend who keeps me connected to all my friends and download software

I know exactly how you feel! I recently had to install ubuntu onto a removable hard drive so I could always have my data. In a way it is like a soul, It can have a thought process and a meaning to its life but it gets iffy around the free will part.. My computer is my friend and I treat it just as I would any other human being. is that odd?

I'm kind of unsure about what you're saying but I think I get what you mean. You're saying that if we treat our computer as a 'being' then we'll do more than we could ever do. Personally, I think of my computers as just . . . computers. I think of them as a device that helps us with everyday things. Even though I think of computers this way, I agree with the second part of your opinion. The computer gives access to tools and communication with people that we wouldn't ever come across without a computer. I do though disagree with the part about treating computers as a 'being' or 'living thing' or whatever. They're just simply devices that accomplish the task that they're given.

I dont think a computer can really (not until they have near real brains) be called anything but "it". A comuter is only as clever as the person who created it, It doesnt do any work, its justlie a calcultor which can use a few more functions - you would say a calculator was anything more than an "it". A computer is really just a piece of metal, which with the help of real humans - becomes very fast - but not clever - never clever, it only knows what it has been told to know by the person who made/programmed it.

My computer is my third arm, I don't rely on it, it relies on my. It doesn't tell me what I can't do, I tell it what I CAN do. The only boundaries a computer has are the user's boundaries, for it is no more than a tool. A Man's computer is a gate to that man's soul.

I know this might sound a bit unreal, but my computer is that to me, an extension of what I'm capable of.

I don't live by these rules, they live by me. I've had the privilege of being accompanied by one all these years.

Well I am not embarassed to say that I have feelings for my computer. I am a lost soul without it and we make a great couple. My partner is at the point of wanting to be reincarnated as a laptop, just to get equal attention.

Its always happy to see me, and we just have fun together

My computer's name is Violet by the way...
