Computer Origins

This collection you see are my heartfelt efforts to capture the moments when I found the components I had long neglected. Each of the components are precious to me, together they form a tight knit family with unbreakable bonds, with whom I never want to lose again, as I now finally understand the meaning of value.

The Great Components

CPU

Central Processing Unit

I found you, withering away, in the dark, all alone having long lost the partner you were so attached to. You were all but a shell of your former self, truly a despairing sight to behold. I’m sorry for neglecting you, I’ll make things right again, and I promise, I will find your partner again.

CPU COOLER

I was amazed when I found you. When I brought you back into the light, your metallic sheen blinded me, your surface as shiny as ever, as if you had never been lost. But deep down, you were missing them. The close contact between your friend, all but gone because of my selfish desires.

THERMAL PASTE

I’m sorry, I couldn’t save you. It was too late when I managed to grab a hold of you. You had already turned to stone, unmoving, forever, and ever. I know you were looking forward to contacting your friends again, but I had simply failed you. I am truly sorry.

MOTHERBOARD

Wow, that was the only word I could describe you when I first saw you again. You looked as if you had just gotten the best workout of your life. You shone a bright blue when I brough you back into the light, eager to meet your long-lost partner again. I’m sorry for neglecting you, but I will make it right, and I’ll find your partner and I'll bring you both together again.

HDD

Hard Drive

Hello Mr Invincible. I see you’re still as strong as ever. I know that you are angry. I’m sorry for neglecting you, I just didn’t realise your true value at the time. Being able to write and write for years on end, enduring endless abuse and not complaining once, that a superhuman feat in my books, and I wish to bring you back together, as a family, once again.
