Computers Are Not Appliances!

The average consumer thinks of a computer as yet another appliance. To non-geeks it is another device similar to a TV or a CD Player. It’s used for gaming, email, and basic internet usage.

The computer is not an appliance though. It’s a medium. Computers are just another way of storing an manipulating data. You read magazines, sent snail mail messages, played cassette tapes, and edited video with a razor and adhesive. Now you read blogs, send email, play MP3s, and edit video with Adobe Premier. It’s just another way of doing things.

At the same time, computers are more than that. So what is a computer? It’s a medium, and a bit more, but it’s not an appliance.
