A language teacher was explaining to her class that in French, nouns, unlike in English, are grammatically designated masculine or feminine. "House" = "La Maison" "Pencil" = Le Crayon" One puzzled student asked "What gender is a computer?" The teacher didn't know and it wasn't in her French dictionary so for fun she split the class into two groups, appropriately enough, by gender, and asked them to decide. Both groups were required to give four reasons for their decision. The men's group decided it should be feminine because a.. no one but the creator understands their internal logic b.. the native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to anyone else c.. even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later review .. as soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your salary on accessories for it. The women's group, however, concluded that computers were masculine - "Le computer" a.. in order to do anything with them you have to turn them on b.. they have a lot of data but still cant think for themselves .. they are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem d.. as soon as you commit to one, you realise that if you had waited a little longer, you could have got a far better model The women won !!
