Subject: computador e metáforas

Lawler diz no seu texto:

What I was doing was using a metaphor. It turns out that that particular metaphor (COMPUTING IS LANGUAGE) is by no means the only useful one around, though it is a bit specialized in this culture, since American society is rather naïve about language. Since then, I've found lots more, and I've also found that people can often understand things better if they use a metaphor and know that they're using it. In fact, the more metaphors you use, the better. I'm giving this lecture, therefore, to encourage you all to:

a) think about the metaphors you use in talking about computers, and to
b) consider broadening your repertoire.

Vamos tentar fazer esse exercício?

Quando meu marido, por exemplo, diz que computador morde ele conceitua o computador metaforicamente como um bicho feroz.
