The businessman dragged himself home and barely made it to his chair before he dropped exhausted. His sympathetic wife was right there with a tall cool drink and a comforting word. "My, you look tired," she said. "You must have had a hard day today. "What happened to make you so exhausted?" "It was terrible," her husband said. "The computer broke down and all of us had to do our own thinking."

 

That is true! A lot of things are done by computer for us now. Of course I sometimes wonder if things were easier in the past.

 

I'm old enough to remember coworkers using sliderules. No, it wasn't easier...but you did have to do more thinking.

AHem, I er had a sliderule, I still have it. I don't have my first few calculators tho...

Remember the TI-SR10? + - * / and square root???

 

So true!
One other thing that I find is effected by computers, is my handwriting. I used to have very nice and neat hand writing. Now that I do mostly key punching, instead of hand written stuff, my writing is a tad bit sloppy sometimes.

John Smith was the only Protestant to move into a large Catholic
neighborhood. On the first Friday of Lent, John was outside grilling a big
juicy steak on his grill. Meanwhile, all of his neighbors were eating cold
tuna fish for supper. This went on each Friday of Lent. On the last Friday
of Lent, the neighborhood men got together and decided that something had
to be done about John, he was tempting them to eat meat each Friday of
Lent, and they couldn't take it anymore. They decided to try and convert John to be a Catholic. They went over and talked to him and were so happy that he decided to join all of his neighbors and become a Catholic. They took him to Church, and the Priest sprinkled some water over him, and said,

"You were born a ! Baptist, you were raised a Baptist, and now you are a
Catholic."

The men were so relieved, now their biggest Lenten temptation was
resolved. The next year's Lenten season rolled around. The first Friday of
Lent came, and just at supper time, when the neighborhood was setting down to their tuna fish dinner, came the wafting smell of steak cooking on a
grill. The neighborhood men could not believe their noses! WHAT WAS GOING
ON?

They called each other up and decided to meet over in John's yard to see
if he had forgotten it was the first Friday of Lent. The group arrived just
in time to see John standing over his grill with a small pitcher of water.
He was sprinkling some water over his steak on the grill, saying, "You were
born a cow, you were raised a cow, and now you are a fish."
