Silicon Heaven (Paraphrased by Jerrold Schiff)
Ever wonder if Computers were like People, would there be a Silicon Heaven when they die?
That’s a theological stretch! Or is it?
There are five main components to a computer, each can be compared to the human body, and each could fail catastrophically.
RAM or random access memory – is like short term memory – or words on the tip of the tongue.
The Hard Drive – is more like long term memory – where you store pictures, documents and emails.
The CPU chip is like the brain and does all the thinking.
The Power Supply is like the blood of the body – without it, there is no movement, no thought.
And the Motherboard – is the body – which ties everything together and keeps communication strong.
What attacks a computer?
Electrical storms, old age, and viruses from outside sources like the internet.
Some parts – whether in us or in a computer, are replaceable.
And viruses, like bad thoughts or deeds, can be stopped or “fixed”.
So, is there a Silicon Heaven?
Maybe, and only if your computer is very very good!
