Three Things to Say to a Mother(board)

It's like, I want to thank a mother.

The third laboratory exercise for my IT 1 (Information Technology Literacy) made me look back, and rediscover the genius machine behind every great time I've been having with the virtual extension of my world. I never had this recollection of sentiments with regards to how much I've been appreciating computers from the time they helped me unleash my vanity, and so much more.

1. Thank you!

The virtual world where I spent, spend, and will spend great amount of my lifetime must have credits from the physical components of computer, those which assures that every processes or commands I've been having with computers were right. To be more specific, she does all these:

• Make sure that she's good with the source of power for the whole unit;
• Make sure everything's on their right place before they go to work; and
• Make sure everything's connected with each other.

2. Aren't those motherly stuff worth appreciating?

3. Thanks, motherboards, and the rest of your hardware family. Words aren't enough to suffice how much I owe you, being one of the most amazing creations in the world.

We were asked to answer why screwdrivers are called as such. Well, why not? They drive screws, don't they? The thing is, most people gets confused because they say that it's the person who holds the screwdrivers that drives the screw, and screwdrivers are like steering wheels. Well, it's not much of a problem to think of. After all, like what my first college professor told me years ago, meanings are in people. And yes, they are.But of course, my laboratory instructor will insist that I should answer. Well, let's just say that screwdrivers sit on screws, like a normal driver sitting on a car. So it must be appropriate to say that screwdrivers drive the screw, for they are the real ones which are on top of it.

Pathetic answer, I know.
