Computers can bully us. A slow and unreliable system will bring even the toughest soul to their knees as they find themselves completely defenseless against the erratic whims of their rogue machine. Lou Ferrigno bringbullycompletely Change image and share on social
I'm not on Twitter or Facebook and don't even use email. I don't trust computers: one day they'll all break down, and everyone will be knackered. Eric Bristow breakcomputerday Change image and share on social
