Computers can be incredibly stupid machines.
The following exchange demonstrates this clearly.
It is also a reminder to return your library books on time!
Based on an old Science Fiction Story which tells it much better!
Central Library Computer: Mr. J. Farrell, you are now overdue by three weeks on your copy of Kidnapped by R.L. Stevenson. Please return immediately!
Mr. J. Farrell: Sorry about that. The delay is due to the new satellite communication system being set up for our apartment block.
Central Computer: Mr. J. Farrell it has come to our attention that you may be involved in a criminal activity. We will now direct the Central Criminal Computer to investigate.
Mr. J. Farrell: Look. I’m really sorry about the delay with Kidnapped. I will return it as soon as possible. O.K!!
Central Criminal Computer: Mr. J. Farrell it has come to our attention that you kidnapped a certain Mr. R.L. Stevenson for a period of three weeks. This is a serious offence and will forward relevant data to Central Judicial Computer.
Mr. J. Farrell: Listen you %^&**$# lúdramán of a machine. I will bring the ~~!@#$%^&*(-+ book back. O.K.!!
Central Judicial Computer: Mr. J. Farrell re kidnapping of R.L.Stevenson. You have been sentenced to twenty years hard. Plus a further year for improper use of language communication. Have a nice day.
