Original Computer


The original computer was a pencil with a rubber on one end.

Memory was something you lost with age

An application was for employment
A program was a radio show
A cursor used profanity
A keyboard was a piano
A web was a spider's home
A virus was the flu
A CD was a bank account
A hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And if you had a 3.5 inch floppy
You just hoped nobody ever found out!?!

I still remember when I had an 8-inch floppy. Then I had a 5.25" Wang. When I get older, I might have to settle for a pencil with a rubber on one end.
