A Tel Aviv college professor of IT knew that ships are addressed as "she" and "her." But what gender, he thought, should computers be addressed? So he decided to ask his class.
He set up two groups of computer experts, one comprised of women and the other of men. Each group was asked to recommend whether computers should be referred to in the feminine or masculine gender and give 4 reasons for the choice.
The women said that computers should be referred to in the masculine gender.
* In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
* Although they have a lot of data, they are still clueless.
* They are supposed to help solve problems but most of the time they are the problem.
* As soon as you commit to one, you realise that had you had waited a little longer, you could have had a better model.
The men, on the other hand, said that computers should be referred to in the feminine gender.
* No one but God understands their internal logic.
* The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
* Even smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.
* As soon as you commit to one, you start spending money on accessories for it.
