About this Quote

This quote by Jef Raskin is a metaphor for the irritations of taking care of computers. He is recommending that if our shoes exploded every Thursday if we connected them the common method, we would certainly be annoyed and also would complain. Nonetheless, when it comes to computer systems, we approve the reality that they frequently breakdown as well as don't think about whining. This is since computers are such an important component of our lives that we have ended up being familiar with their flaws and troubles. Raskin is trying to explain that we must decline these problems and must rather require much better from the modern technology we make use of. He is motivating us to be a lot more singing about our stress with computers as well as to push for much better technology.
