You are your own best computer -- stark naked. You do not require
electricity, only an occasional pork chop or a love affair, or a scratch
behind the ears. Your hard drive is always intact and you already own the
necessary software. If you don't think this is true, ask a neighborhood
farmer about his quarter-million-dollar combine that will revolutionize
agriculture, then look at the rotting ghosts of old combines in the grove
behind his barn. If you know how to do everything a computer can do, and can
afford one, it might save you some time on menial tasks. Then again, it
might not. The information highway leads down from the cerebellum to the
spinal cord, and to the hands, and back up, passing through the deluxe
non-electric blood pump into your personal ingrown Apple. Bill Gates makes
tools, probably not as useful to humanity in the long run as a socket wrench;
something else made you - your mother and father. You are nature's perfect
information system.
