The Man in the Box Begin by visualizing the CPU as a man in a box (see Figure 3-1). This is one clever guy. He can perform virtually any mathematical function, manipulate data, and give answers very quickly. CPU I PAUSED MY LIFE PROGRAMMING TO BE IN A BOX Figure 3-1 Imagine the CPU as a man in a box. We need some way to talk to the guy inside the box! *muffled* CPU Figure 3-2 How do we talk with the Man in the Box?
A textbook-style cartoon explains a CPU by depicting it as a man sitting inside a cardboard box labeled “CPU.” A woman tries to communicate with him, but only hears muffled sounds. The joke comes from taking the computer-science metaphor literally, making the abstract processor seem like a trapped person in a box.
