Similarly, there tends to be an outbreak of computer viruses that "eat"
papers on the very day that they are due. This seems to be an epidemic
and
has even been known to impair faculty who are overcommitted with
university
committees.
All we can figure is that on some level, known only to quantum
physicists,
the Computer is able to overly empathize and somehow take on the
student's
symptoms, much as the family systems people (used to) say about
schizophrenia being a symptom of a deeper problem. As a result, the
computer's natural immunity is weakened and whatever paper the student
is
working on is damaged or destroyed, as the computer clearly incorporates
the
unconscious fears of the student.
By the way, this all ties in nicely to recent current discussions
regarding
Psi, psychoimmunology, transpersonal psychology, and those of us who
are in
the growing minority of Computer Rights Advocates. Now if we could just
get
some serious pharmaceutical company money to test our hypotheses ......
