Desktop Has a Soul

ipads have no soul but desktop computer is like a nervous horse and has the capacity for love I don’t think you should give kids phones or iPads but you should give them free access to a desktop computer Desktop is a magical Place you can visit, but cannot live at Desktop, you must leave Desktop from time to time. You cannot take Desktop with you to bed or work or school. Desktop has a Place, has a home, and Desktop knows its Place. Tablet and smartphone are malicious, hungry ghosts that haunt your every waking moment. They have no place, no home, they wander the earth Searching, Craving your time and attention, a bottomless void hell bent on devouring your soul because they have none of their own.

A screenshot shows a social media post praising desktop computers as soulful, nervous horses with a proper place and home, while condemning tablets and smartphones as malicious hungry ghosts. The joke anthropomorphizes different kinds of technology and presents an absurdly poetic argument for giving children unrestricted desktop access instead of phones or iPads. It is shared as a humorous reaction to screen-time debates and strong personal preferences about computers.
