Hey YOSPOS,

It is me Heated Gaming Moment. I’m not sure why my av says YOSPOS or who it is, but that is for another day.

How can I use computer terms in every day life to help spread the awareness of computers? I have a few ideas to run by you. If you don’t like them, that’s OK. Please let me know. However, I would love to hear some of your suggestions, too.

When you think about it, eating food is kind of like uploading a big dump, am I right?

Raking leaves could be defragging because you’re taking all those little leaves and putting them in a more efficient form. I’m going to go defrag the yard, honey. That’s something we can say.

Lifting weights can be like upgrading your RAM. The muscles are your RAM. You start with some, but you need more so you can do more, so you work really hard and then you have more RAM and you can get more girls or complements or guys. In fact, at the gym you can say something fun like hey I’m squatting four plates of chips for my RAM. The crowd would probably like that one.

Another idea is when you say good night you can say I’m going to sleep and then say in parentheses (like a computer.) In the morning you can jump out of bed and say I am rebooted!

Just throwing out some ideas. Please help me out.

My mom is a hoarder. You don't want to see their attic or basement. When she first started learning about digital devices? She even forgot she bought the same phone twice.

Reining her in is getting better now.
