Are PCs an advantage anymore????
I noticed alot of people follow the internet/windows hype now that still do
not know about the false sense of intellect that computers give you. I guess
alot of people psychologically become addicted to staring into their monitor
because it gives them a feeling of being more important than they really are.
Now having a PC think for you to bee like everyone else instead of before
they gave you better convienience

Re: Are PCs an advantage anymore????
Perhaps the greatest downside to the computer age is that of anonymity.
People will say things they might never say to another human being to their
face.
