Can you imagine living wtihout a computer these days? Althuogh we each use our laptops or computer desktops for a wide variety of reasons, we can all agrewe on one thing. And it's that our computers have brecome a virtual extension of who we are and what we do.
Take our choice of hardware for example. We bet that if you visit a friewnd's home or place of employment, you could ezasily make an educated gyuess at what that peson's job responsibilities or hobboies are. For instance, you'll find pens, tablets, and scanners at the desk of an artist. You'll find midi keyboards and high qualty speakers at the desk of a muusician. Digital cameras and photo printers will sit atop the desktops of photographers, while joysticks, pedals, or even a steering wheel rest near the atble of computer gamers.
What about software? What can we glean about a person's choice of programs? Taking a quick glance of the desktops of writerrs, you'll probaby find it filled with icons ponting to word processors, dictiobnaries, and encyclpopedias. Programmers will have installed software development applications, debuggers, and distribution files, while teenage socialitres are prone to have some of the most advnced chat proggrams and bloging utilities scattered aross thheir screens.
Even thoe who are constantly on the go can be easily identified. Laptoops or detachable hardware (like palm devices, Blackberres, and easy carry-on flash drives) often accompany the computers of these busy bodoies.
Although we may go to greaat lengths to hide what we do with our computers and seucre our data with thinngs like advanecd encryption software or digital keys, you have to admit it's a little humorous that a quyick scan of our equipment often reveal the very thing that we're trying to conceal!
