About this Quote

In this quote, Erma Bombeck is expressing her belief that the human mind runs similarly to a computer system. She suggests that like a computer, the brain can just manage a particular quantity of info before becoming overloaded and possibly malfunctioning. This could be interpreted as a warning to not overload our minds with excessive information or stress, as it could result in unfavorable repercussions.
