A day in the life of Cynthia’s computer

If someone were to be looking through my computer, they would see that I love taking pictures with my friends. They would discover a lot of what I do in my spare time through those pictures. They would also see that I make a lot of different lists so I stay organized and I know what need to do when it needs to be done. I believe that both are true; that our computers and their contents shape us as well as we shape them. When we get a new computer, it's like a blank canvas. As we add applications, programs, and files; the computer begins to be our own. So when someone were to analyze our computer, they truly see how we are as a person by the contents on our computer.

If I was to be famous and the "museum of me" is erected, I think visitors would be interested in looking at my computer because it does reflect a lot about who I am. My desktop has very few icons on it because I like to make it simple, but it has enough so that I don't have to go searching for a whole bunch of stuff every time I have to use it. Also, my wallpaper is always a quote that reflects something that means something to me. I become inspired by the simplest things and having a quote on something I look at every day is amazing. I don't think I would mind too much if my computer, files, and internet history were on display for the world to see because it would really reflect the kind of person I am. Yes, there is a lot of Facebook and MySpace on there but I also look up other things as well.

If I had the chance, I think I'd look at Bill Gates' computer. He's a computer geek and I think it would be interesting to find out what he really looks up.
