What is Opinion: Why Are People Afraid of Computers? about?
There's someone sitting alone in an apartment, typing away at a paper due very soon. Typing franticly she mutters, "I have to get it done before my computer crashes!" The person pauses only to backup onto floppy, not giving the slightest bit of trust to the hard drive. She will type the paper all at once, not trusting the file to return after the computer is turned off. I get a call from my mother, who is in a panic. Her ruler disappeared off her screen in Microsoft Word and she thinks her whole system is going down. My brother was playing a computer game and it crashed. He came to me apologizing for destroying my system, and was very relieved when I rebooted with no problem. These are normal people, and there are many more like them. They are creative, loving, and generally nice. They are also afraid. Very afraid.
