We're just good friends

The Register:

There is a good chance your kids think more highly of their computer more than they do of you, according to a survey published today.

Children in Britain are bonding, en masse, with technology: nearly half (45 per cent) consider their computer a friend, and nearly two thirds (61 per cent) say they are extremely fond of their PCs. Adults are less sentimental. Even so, a third consider their chunk of silicon and plastic to be a buddy, and close to half say they'd be lost without it.

Here's something I wrote in my blog a while back.

"...thinking that I should get my valuables out of it in case of a flood. The first thing that I thought to protect was my laptop."
