The Computer as a Food Processor

The computer is not the Promised Land. It contain many bugs and technical obstacles. They stop the average person from using the computer and send him to an endless pilgrimage. We need to overcome the psychological barrier of regarding the computer as a mind compote. There is one advice, which can be helpful especially for women. It is to regard the computer as a food processor.

As with cooking, the computer process ingredients, which is the data that you put in it. So the first think to do is check if you have enough free memory.

You do so by right clicking your hard disk icon, usually called 'C', in 'My Computer' file on your screen. You will see a 'PIE' of the free and used memory. The free memory should be enough: At least one third and preferably more. This image is a symbol of the computer as a CAKE. As with food ingredients, you first weigh what is needed for your recipe.

Another important bakery product of the computer is the COOKIE. Cookies are small files which are sent automatically when you visit web pages and ask for some interaction. The problem is that some of them are hostile and block the computer, and today cookies are regarded as a major threat. You must have a good 'cookies remover' software, and operate it at least once a day.

You must check of course for VIRUSES, otherwise your 'food' will be contaminated. Good anti-virus software can detect and remove viruses automatically. But don't rely entirely on it. Be careful and avoid adding content to your computer from suspicious resources.

Delete the 'temporary files' every week. These are internet web pages which are stored in the computer to save downloading time when visiting them again. This is done by entering 'tools>internet options' in your browser's MENU.

Avoid the fast 'food' and everything will start to go well.


I can foresee a future were the computer terminology will be based more and more on kitchen activity.

Instead of the tough technical terms, which no one knows from were they came, people will start calling the computer's parts and processes in some more friendly terms from the world of food recipes.

APPLE had a good start in this direction, but they invented the Mac instead of the Cake.

One of the popular methods for downloading large movie files from the internet is called TORRENT, which reminds everybody of TART PIE.

The MOTHER BOARD is an important part, on which all the computer is built.

On the other end, LAPTOPS are very fashionable. They give the illusion that operating them is as easy as lapping ice cream.

I wish you success in your search for food in the subsistence economy of the Web.
