Murphy's Laws of Computing
It's a fact of life that computers aren't always as responsive
as we would like them to be, especially during a session with a
class full of expectant kids.
I am sure that most of you will have come across situations, one
time or another, for which one or more of the following 'laws' may
apply...
- When computing, whatever happens, behave as though you meant
it to happen.
- When you get to the point when you really understand your computer,
it's probably obsolete.
- The first place to look for information is in the section of
the manual where you least expect to find it.
- When the going gets tough, upgrade.
- For every action, there is an equal and opposite malfunction.
- To err is human - to blame your computer for your mistakes is
even more human, it is downright natural.
- He who laughs last, probably made a backup.
- If at first you don't succeed, blame your computer.
- A complex system which does not work is invariably found to
have evolved from a simpler system that worked just fine.
- The number one cause of computer problems is computer solutions.
- A computer program will always do what you tell it to do, but
rarely what you want to do.
