Fresh from the half-bakery

hirezIt's daft to try to model human thought processes by using computing terms. They're just not the same sorts of thing. Yet that doesn't stop me calling the state of having too many things to think about 'thrashing' and having it be a useful analogy.
And yet. I begin to wonder that as the bloody devices have actually started to become useful, rather than something that you could solder up, laboriously type in '10 PRINT "STEVE IS ACE"' or spend half an hour pissing about with a cassette recorder so the thing could go 'Splurp! Splurp! Splurp!' like a clock-radio having a danger wank, so we've quietly changed the way we arrange (in several senses) our lives to accommodate the way they work.
I seem to remember that we're changed by our tools, so this isn't entire news.
It would not surprise me to learn that there are those who base their people-management skills on what they've learned from LJ friends-list drama.
(Bad for-instance. I'm having trouble thinking about this. In the same way that I'm sure I read a piece about the way that the scientific method was hopelessly mired in western-european/judeo-christian thought processes.)
Perhaps I should attend to some DNS. Yes. That would be best.
