The World Before Computers

Recommended Posts

I found this on Joke-Of-The-Day!

Before computers....

- An application was for employment

- A program was a TV show

- A cursor used profanity

- A keyboard was a piano!

- Memory was something that you lost with age

- A CD was a bank account!

- And if you had a broken disk, … It would hurt when you found out!

- Compress was something you did to garbage
…Not something you did to a file

- And if you unzipped anything in public
…You'd be in jail for a while!

- Log on was adding wood to a fire

- Hard drive was a long trip on the road

- A mouse pad was where a mouse lived

- And a backup happened to your commode!

- Cut- you did with a pocket knife

- Paste- you did with glue

- A web was a spider's home

- And a virus was the flu!

I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper and the memory in my head. I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash

-…But when it happens they wish they were dead!

LOL good stuff!

So, what did y'all do before computers?

I can barely remember playing Solitaire with a REAL deck of cards! :D

I was in high school the last time I had to use white-out! :)
We were still playing board games on the table or floor... you young 'uns are probably thinking, WTF is a board game? :ph34r:

Oh yeah, before computers, if we wanted to have some fun, we actually had to go outside!! ;)

You know more about someone half a world away better than your next door neighbor...



You know? Sadly, that's true. I can tell you more about my friend Mike in Kosovo (whom I've only known a few months) than I can about the people who have been living across the street for 7 years.
