Life Before the Computer

An application was for employment; a program was a TV show; a cursor used profanity; a keyboard was a piano; memory was something that you lost with age; a CD was a bank account; if you had a 3? inch floppy, you hoped nobody found out!
Compress was something you did to garbage
Not something you did to a file
And if you unzipped anything in public
YouЃfd be in jail for awhile!
Log on was adding wood to a fire
Hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And a backup happened to your commode!
Cut - you did with a pocket knife
Paste you did with glue
A web was a spiderЃfs home
And a virus was the flu!
I guess IЃfll stick to my pad and paper
And the memory in my head
I hear nobodyЃfs been killed in a computer crash
But when it happens they wish they were dead!
