It may be better for your own mental health to ascribe human
qualities to your computer’s performance.
For example, saying, “My computer’s in a funk today, not getting much
done,” suggests that you should just be patient, perhaps try tomorrow when the
machine’s feeling better. While on the
other hand, treating your computer’s performance as a technical issue—which of
course it is—may have you spend the rest of your day trying to solve a problem
which might just go away on its own after the computer has had a good night’s
sleep—technically, a reboot.
