Misunderstanding Computers

Why do we insist on seeing the computer as a magic box for controlling other people?
人はどうしてコンピュータを、人を制する魔法の箱として考えたいのですか?
Why do we want so much to control others when we won't control ourselves?
どうしてそれほど、自分を制しないのに、人をコントロールしたいのですか？

Computer memory is just fancy paper, CPUs are just fancy pens with fancy erasers, and the network is just a fancy backyard fence.
コンピュータの記憶というものはただ改良した紙ですし、CPU 何て特長ある筆に特殊の消しゴムがついたものにすぎないし、ネットワークそのものは裏庭の塀が少し拡大されたものぐらいです。

Panasonic Let's note CF-NX2 Japanese Keyboard

For reference, this is the Japanese keyboard on the Panasonic Let's note model CF-NX2:


This is a fairly standard layout for Japanese keyboards since sometime around the early 1990s.

Note that the ￥ (yen) key is by default mapped by Ubuntu 18 to the \ (backslash) character for most applications, unless you are using a Japanese input method and have Japanese input selected.
