Blue Collars

Steven Jacob Borthick
1) Life has no edge softening when you don't like what you're being shown.

2) There are no undo or delete buttons.

3) You can't speed life up when things are going slow.

4) There's no copy and paste for all the hard work you've done-you need to keep working hard.

5) There are no cheat codes or level ups.

6) The only hard drive is the one in your pants, and if that crashes, you're out of luck.

7) You can't just add more sticks of memory to your brain.

8) If your processing is slowing down, rebooting takes much longer than just a couple of minutes.

9) Their power will never go out during storms.

10) Help is never just a click away.

11) Things don't always compute.

12) You can't fake being a pro like you can with computers.

13) You're never stuck to a limited means of options.

14) You actually know what's going on outside your own doors.

15) If you brag to others about how you can do martial arts and break dance, they'll ask you to show them right then and there.

16) People never say, "I'll show up to your house and kill you," just because you called them stupid.

17) Blue collar people keep most of their thoughts to themselves, anyway.

18) There is no system restore. If you break something, expect a cast for a few weeks.

19) Replacing parts will always cost more than just a few hundred bucks.

20) Finally, they make it possible for computer geeks to sit around and be computer geeks.
